This paper presents a novel example-based stippling technique that employs a simple and intuitive concept to convert a color image into a pointillism painting. Our method relies on analyzing and imitating the color distributions of Seurat’s paintings to obtain a statistical color model. Then, this model can be easily combined with the modified multi-class blue noise sampling to stylize an input...

Practitioners of the geosciences, design, and engineering disciplines communicate complex ideas about shape by manipulating three-dimensional digital objects to match their conceptual model. However, the two-dimensional control interfaces, common in software applications, create a disconnect to three-dimensional manipulations. This research examines cutting, deforming, and painting manipulation...

solution. Such agents also enhance the stability of certain nylon solutions. All bacteriostatic agents are not effective when dispersed in the plastic matrix. Each specific combination must be tested. Those found to be bacteriostatic may have useful application in surgical dressings for wounds or burns, packaging, or for painting areas which must be kept free of bacterial activity. It is possib...

Colorful nanofibrous membranes have attracted much attention for their visual varieties and various functionalities. In this article, a colored solution electrospinning process was used to fabricate colorful hydrophobic poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB)/cationic dye nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) successfully. The color and morphology of these as-spun nanofibrous membranes have been analyzed by colorimet...

In this paper, we present a method which gives oil painting effect for color images. In general, oil painting method is a process of painting with pigments that are bound with drying oil. The oil painting is widely adopted for artist who utilizes different oils. The proposed method uses digital painting approach and makes an original image painted with oil. The main purpose of oil painting is t...

We present a way of rendering painting-like images and sequences by our Stochastic Painting-based SBR technique. We avoid disturbing artifacts by coding the images in a painting-like way. If we code the resulting stroke sequence, than the level of error comes not from the artifacts but from the painting process. For this reason, if we generate high quality paintings, we can transfer the image w...

Nowadays many parts of shipbuilding process are automated, but the painting process is not, because of the difficulty of automated on-line painting quality measurement, harsh painting environment and the difficulty of robot navigation. However, the painting automation is necessary, because it can provide consistent performance of painting film thickness. Furthermore, autonomous mobile robots ar...
