This paper investigates the use of the Bayesian inference for devising an example-based rendering procedure. As prior model of this Bayesian inference, we exploit the multiscale non-parametric model recently proposed by Wei et al. for texture synthesis. This model appears to be interesting to also capture some characteristics of a rendering style from an artistic illustration example. Obtained ...

This paper describes a thesis exploring how computer programs can collaborate as equals in the artistic creative process. The proposed system, CoCo Sketch, encodes some rudimentary stylistic rules of abstract sketching and music theory to contribute supplemental lines and music while the user sketches. We describe a three-part research method that includes defining rudimentary stylistic rules f...

In this article, the author makes analysis and study on the three aspects of the technique of expression of image design in animation, artistic style of its image design and local characteristics of its image design, and analyzes such figures of speeches as transformation, exaggeration, combination and personification. It is exactly these expressive elements that enrich image of animation and f...

Non-photorealistic rendering, or NPR, has emerged as an important field of computer graphics [1]. Most NPR methods attempt to create imagery mimicking a particular style produced by an artist. Several such styles have been investigated, including painting, watercolor, engraving, pen and ink, color pencil, charcoal, cartoon coloring, stippling, and loose sketching. Thus far, most published NPR a...

Painters and cartographers have developed artistic landscape rendering techniques for centuries. Such renderings can visualize complex three-dimensional landscapes in a pleasing and understandable way. In this work we examine a particular type of artistic depiction, panorama maps, in terms of function and style, and we develop methods to automatically generate panorama map reminiscent rendering...

This paper presents an algorithm and its applications for artistic rendering of recorded video data following ideas of non-photorealistic rendering. The proposed algorithm does not only work on a variety of artistic rendering styles for static photography but it can also be applied to the creation of artistic videos. Cartoon-like and comic-like styles are the two artistic styles considered in t...
