For the cultural development an effective communication energy. Palermo's image abroad can be promoted by taking advantage of its exceptional cultural heritage. Giacomo Serpotta, Palermo's great sculptor, could be promoted on an international level. COMMUNICATING INFORMATION IN PALERMO Today the Mediterranean Basin is the one area in Europe which really calls for this type of approach. Palermo,...

In the article ways of forming artistic image in works portrait art. This problem is very urgent for professional realization future Art teachers.

The combination of a classifier system with an evolutionary image generation engine is explored. The framework is composed of an object detector and a general purpose, expressionbased, genetic programming engine. Several object detectors are instantiated to detect faces, lips, breasts and leaves. The experimental results show the ability of the system to evolve images that are classified as the...

We employ common information visualization techniques such as parallel coordinates or stardinates as a tool for artistic image generation. Our technique is based on rendering footprints of continuous density distributions as they emerge from modeling data with uncertainty or estimating probability densities. By compositing density footprints with alpha-blending, we obtain visually pleasing imag...

This paper presents an artistic rendering system for generating 3D images of Chinese paintings using graphics hardware. The user can adjust suitable parameters flexibly to generate different brush styles as his/her hobby, and see rendering results in real time. In this system, we propose a hardware-accelerated method to draw Chinese painting strokes efficiently along visible silhouettes. Three-...

To test the hypothesis that pleasure from artistic music is intellectual while that from popular music is physiological, this study investigated the different functional mechanisms between aesthetic appreciation of artistic and popular music using fMRI. 18 male non-musicians were scanned while they performed an aesthetic rating task for excerpts of artistic music, popular music and musical note...

In this work, we study people’s emotions evoked by viewing abstract art images based on traditional low-level image features within a binary classification framework. Abstract art is used here instead of artistic or photographic images because those contain contextual information that influences the emotional assessment in a highly individual manner. Whether an image of a cat or a mountain elic...

In respect to the issues on protecting intellectual property, particular for artistic works in electronic form, some sorts of techniques could be put on a copyright material image to ensure its ownership authentication. In this research, signatories’ biometric fingerprint watermark message in digital format will be embedded into a copyright material image by Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) – on...

In this paper we present an algorithm to automatically generate sketches from stereo image pairs. Stereo analysis is initially performed on the input stereo pair to estimate a dense depth map. An Edge Combination image is computed by localising object contour edges, as indicated by the depth map, within the intensity reference image. We then approximate these pixel-represented contours by devis...

The Removing or repairing the imperfections of a digital images or videos is a very active and attractive field of research belonging to the image inpainting technique. This later has a wide range of applications, such as removing scratches in old photographic image, removing text and logos or creating cartoon and artistic effects. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to repair a damag...
