This paper presents the algorithm developed, for the EE 368 course project, to identify paintings in query images taken with a camera-phone in the European Gallery of the Cantor Arts Center. The image processing algorithm first extracts the painting of interest, in the center of the photo. It uses edge detection in saturation space, followed by iterative Radon transforms and region removal to f...

We describe new algorithms and tools for generating paintings, illustrations, and animation on a computer. These algorithms are designed to produce visually appealing and expressive images that look hand-painted or hand-drawn. In many contexts, painting and illustration have many advantages over photorealistic computer graphics, in aspects such as aesthetics, expression, and computational requi...

Cao, Muning. M.S., Purdue University, May 2016. A Study Of How Chinese Ink Painting Features Can Be Applied To 3D Scenes And Models In Real-time Rendering. Major Professor: Tim McGraw. Past research findings addressed mature techniques for non-photorealistic rendering. However, research findings indicate that there is little information dealing with efficient methods to simulate Chinese ink pai...

Objectives: In present study, we studied the effect of teaching three painting methods (free method, subject selection method and complementary method) on creativity of children with learning disabilities. First, among all disabled students, who refer to Bizhani center for learning disabilities in Arak city, 60 subjects were randomly selected as statistical sample. Thus, the 45 children, divide...

An oil painting by Claude Monet, Port-Goulphar, Belle-Ile 1887 (collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales), was examined to determine both the identity of the pigments used by the artist in this painting and his technique of mixing colors and laying paint on the canvas. The extremely complex construction of the painting was revealed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SE...

Among the advanced karyotype analysis approaches embraced by animal cytogenetics during the past decade, chromosome painting has had the greatest impact. Generation of chromosome specific paints is considered pivotal to his development. Additionally, ability to use these paints across species (referred to as Zoo-FISH or comparative painting) is undisputedly the most important breakthrough that ...

For chromosome painting, in situ suppression of repetitive DNA sequences has been well established. Such standard protocols usually require large amounts of Cot-I DNA. Recently, it has become possible to deplete repetitive DNA sequences from library probes by magnetic purification and PCR-assisted affinity chromatography. These "repeat-depleted library probes" appear to be extremely useful for ...

Here we present a simple method for cleaning polyamine human mitotic chromosomes in solution. This was achieved by filtering intact (unburst) nuclei along with both large and small cytoplasmic debris through a series of different pore sized filters. Pure human chromosomes were recovered using a simple reverse filtration step. Fluorescence microscopy was used to validate the chromosome suspensio...
