Automatic thread painting generation

Constraint optimization model of a scheduling problem for a robotic arm in automatic systems

In this paper,we investigate the problemof scheduling a 6DOF robotic arm to carry out a sequence of spray painting tasks. The duration of any given painting task is process dependent and fixed, but the duration of an ‘‘intertask’’, corresponding to the process of relocating and reorienting the robot arm from one painting task to the next one, is influenced by the order of tasks andmust be minim...

Automatic Invention of Fitness Functions with Application to Scene Generation

We investigate the automatic construction of visual scenes via a hybrid evolutionary/hill-climbing approach using a correlationbased fitness function. This forms part of The Painting Fool system, an automated artist which is able to render the scenes using simulated art materials. We further describe a novel method for inventing fitness functions using the HR descriptive machine learning system...

On the Utility of Spectral-Maximum- Based Automated Thread Counting from X-Radiographs of Paintings on Canvas

Manual thread counting is possible from the weave pattern visible at sufficient enlargement of the intensity pattern in an X-radiograph of a painting on canvas. a recently introduced algorithm [1] for automated thread counting relies upon the topography of the twodimensional Fourier transform of the X-radiograph. (For a description of the two-dimensional Fourier transform see the appendix.) a p...

Arthistorian: an Integrated Indexing and Personalized Browsing System for Art Paintings

This paper introduces ArtHistorian, an art painting indexing system designed for automatic generation of dynamic painting presentations. The developed system aims personalized content browsing with a classification based indexing and query method implemented from the art historians’ perspective. ArtHistorian represents the visual content of paintings by a 6-D feature vector that is robust to sc...
