An Interactive Artificial Ant Approach to Non-photorealistic Rendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We couple artificial ant and computer graphics techniques to create an approach to Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR). A user interactively takes turns with an artificial ant colony to transform a photograph into a stylized picture. In turn with the user specifying its control parameters, members of a colony of artificial ants scan the source image locally, following strong edges or wandering around flat zones, and draw marks on the canvas depending on their discoveries. Among a variety of obtained effects, two are painterly rendering and pencil sketching.

Image Segmentation for Stylized Non-Photorealistic Rendering and Animation Alexander Kolliopoulos Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2005 This thesis approaches the problem of non-photorealistic rendering by identifying segments in the image plane and filling them using algorithms to render in artistic styles. Using segments as a 2D primitive for non...
متن کاملAn Image-based Framework for Animated Non-photorealistic Rendering
This thesis presents an image-based rendering framework for creating non-photorealistic applications that achieve frame-to-frame coherence, interactivity, stylistic flexibility, and visual detail. To date, most researchers pursuing dynamic nonphotorealism have focused on rendering specific visual styles, with methods for achieving frame-to-frame coherence within a particular style being key tec...
متن کاملAutomatic non-photorealistic rendering through soft-shading removal: a colour-vision approach
This paper presents a non-photorealistic rendering algorithm that produces "stylised-style" images by removing the soft shading from the image and by giving objects extra definition through black outlines. The method of shading removal is based on a model of the architecture of the human colour vision system. Some image results are provided and the possible extension of the algorithm using a ba...
متن کاملTowards Interactive Photorealistic Rendering of Indoor Scenes: A Hybrid Approach
Photorealistic rendering methods produce accurate solutions to the rendering equation but are very computationally expensive and typically noninteractive. Some researchers have used graphics hardware to obtain photorealistic effects but not at interactive frame rates. We propose a technique to achieve near photorealism of simple indoor scenes at interactive rates using both CPUs and graphics ha...
