Research for creating impressive images like paintings has attained more and more importance because of the recent growth in processing images. Among many painting styles, watercolor style gives a strong impression because of its thin colors and its soft appearance. This paper proposes a method to create watercolor style images from input images, for instance photographs. In contrast with the p...

This paper describes our methods for repairing and restoring images of hidden paintings (paintings that have been painted over and are now covered by a new surface painting) that have been obtained via noninvasive X-ray fluorescence imaging of their canvases. This recently developed imaging technique measures the concentrations of various chemical elements at each two-dimensional spatial locati...

In the paper, we present a new method of converting a photo image to a synthesized painting image following the painting style of an example painting image.The proposed method uses a hierarchical and adaptive patch-based approach to both the synthesis of painting styles and preservation of scene details. This approach can be summarized as follows.The input photo image is represented as a set of...

the purpose of this article is to investigate the differences between men and women’s painting regardless of being limited to presuppositions about masculine and feminine art. therefore, first the appearance of differences between men and women art during the eighteenth and nineteenth century is considered. having done that, various types of women’s painting, feminine painting and feminism pain...

This paper looks at the motivation for simulating painting directly on 3D objects, and investigates the main issues faced by such systems. These issues include the provision of natural user interfaces, the reproduction of realistic brush effects and the surface parameterization for texture mapping so that the results of the painting can be stored on texture maps. The paper further investigates ...

We realize a painting system that imitates painting on real objects in the real world. Many studies have proposed methods of painting simulation on 2D canvas, and the quality of such methods is improving. However, painting on 3D objects is not easy using conventional input devices such as a mouse or graphics tablet with 2D display. We solved this problem by providing a ToolDevice in a mixed rea...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable paralyzed patients to communicate; however, up to date, no creative expression was possible. The current study investigated the accuracy and user-friendliness of P300-Brain Painting, a new BCI application developed to paint pictures using brain activity only. Two different versions of the P300-Brain Painting application were tested: A colored matrix teste...

It is difficult for consumers to judge whether a painting or poster would fit well in their rooms without actually mounting the painting on the wall. A solution is proposed to allow users to their DROID mobile phones to preview what the painting looks like on the wall using the phone’s camera and its screen. The system is a marker-based, augmented-reality system that can place paintings on wall...

The paper reports results on the automation of the spray-painting process in industrial powder coating plants. The automation of the spray-painting process requires a painting model and the definition of appropriate metrics for painting task validation. Two main topics are addressed in the paper: motion planning of paint deposition and paint quality analysis. A paint quality function is formula...
