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...

In previous articles, the author proposed that paintings can have syntactic rules. In this article he develops his proposal further and shows that shapes act as syntactic elements in the languages of painting styles. He meets Nelson Goodman's objections to his proposal by showing that shapes meet the criterion of syntactic discreteness proposed by the latter to separate linguistic from other sy...

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...

This paper presents an algorithm that recognizes an input photo of a painting displayed at a museum exhibition out of 33 paintings in the set. The input photos were taken with a Nokia N93 cell phone, which has a 3 mega-pixel digital camera. The snapshots were taken under different light conditions and from different vantage points. This algorithm would be useful during a museum tour; the touris...

In this paper, I propose a new methodology for analysing landscape drawing methods using a GIS. The subject of my analysis is the genre of Japanese screen paintings known as rakuchū rakugai zu, created between the 16th and 18th centuries. Rakuchū rakugai zu provide bird’s-eye views of the then-capital city of Kyoto, including buildings, natural features, and human activities. The methodology in...

We address the problem of texturing flat surfaces by spray-painting through 3D printed stencils. We propose a system that (1) decomposes an image into alpha-blended layers; (2) computes a stippling given a transparency channel; (3) generates a 3D printed stencil given a stippling and (4) simulates the effects of spray-painting through the stencil.

A Conference on Wireless Communication and Android Apps "WiCAA–15" 1. INTRODUCTION The Image in-painting is a hot spot in computer graphics and an active area in research in image processing. Image in-painting is also known as image disocclusion or completion. Object removal from images is an image manipulation technique that has a long history. The purpose of removing objects varies from remov...

In this paper, a new technique for fast painting with different colors is presented. The idea of painting relies on applying masks with different colors to the background. Fast painting is achieved by applying these masks in the frequency domain instead of spatial (time) domain. New colors can be generated automatically as a result from the cross correlation operation. This idea was applied suc...

In order to analyse paintings, specialists use many different techniques exploring different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum: near infra-red, ultra-violet, X-rays, etc. But surprisingly, the visual domain has rarely been analysed, probably because colour perception is a very complex domain, being rather difficult to analyse adequately by means of automatic techniques. Our visual sensation...
