Computational caricaturization of surfaces

چکیده
The question whether a caricature of a 2D sketch, or an object in 3D can be generated automatically is probably as old as the attempt to answer the question of what defines art. In an attempt to provide a partial answer, we propose a computational approach for automatic caricaturization. The idea is to rely on intrinsic geometric properties of a given model that are invariant to poses, articulations, and gestures. A property of a surface that is preserved while it undergoes such deformations is self-isometry. In other words, while smiling, running, and posing, we do not change much the intrinsic geometry of our facial surface, the area of our body, or the size of our hands. The proposed method locally amplifies the area of a given surface based on its Gaussian curvature. It is shown to produce a natural comic exaggeration effect which can be efficiently computed as a solution of a Poisson equation. We demonstrate the power of the proposed method by applying it to a variety of meshes such as human faces, statues, and animals. The results demonstrate enhancement and exaggeration of the shape’s features into an artistic caricature. As most poses and postures are almost isometries, the use of the Gaussian curvature as the scaling factor allows the proposedmethod to handle animated sequences while preserving the identity of the animated creature. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Planar shape enhancement and exaggeration
A local smoothing operator applied in the reverse direction is used to obtain planar shape enhancement and exaggeration. Inversion of a smoothing operator is an inherently unstable operation. Therefore, a stable numerical scheme simulating the inverse smoothing effect is introduced. Enhancement is obtained for short time spans of evolution. Carrying the evolution further yields shape exaggerati...
متن کاملThe computational study of adsorption of carbon monoxide on pristine and Ge-doped (6,0) zigzag models of BNNTs
The aim of this research is studying the effects of Ge-doped on CO adsorption on the outer and inner surfaces of (6, 0) zigzag model of boron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) by using DFT theory. For this purpose, eight models of CO adsorption on the surfaces of BNNTs are considered. At first step, all structures were optimized at B3LYP and 6-31G (d) standard base set and then the electronic structure,...
متن کامل3D human face reconstruction using principal components spaces
In this work we propose a new method of 3D face computational photography based on a facial expressions training dataset composed of both facial range images (3D geometry) and facial texture (2D photo). The method allows to obtain a 3D representation of facial geometry given only a 2D photo and a set of facial landmarks, which undergoes a series of transformations through the estimated texture ...
متن کاملGoing to Extremes: The influence of unsupervised categories on the mental caricaturization of faces and asymmetries in perceptual discrimination
Recent re-analysis of traditional Categorical Perception (CP) effects show that the advantage for between category judgments may be due to asymmetries of within-category judgments (Hanley & Roberson, 2011). This has led to the hypothesis that labels cause CP effects via these asymmetries due to category label uncertainty near the category boundary. In Experiment 1 we demonstrate that these “wit...
