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...

The diversity of painting styles represents a rich visual vocabulary for the construction of an image. The degree to which one may learn and parsimoniously capture this visual vocabulary measures our understanding of the higher level features of paintings, if not images in general. In this work we investigate the construction of a single, scalable deep network that can parsimoniously capture th...

This article argues that contemporary, computer-mediated, algorithmic forms of sociality problematize a long and major tradition in cultural anthropology, which has appropriated the notion of artistic style to theorize culture as a relatively distinct, coherent, and durable configuration of behavioral dispositions. The article’s ethnographic site is a lab in a major institute of technology in t...

Recent advances in computer vision and image processing have enabled basic automatic analysis of visual art. Here we use computer analysis to extract thousands of numerical low-level image content descriptors from digitized paintings, and use them to objectively compare the similarities between the artistic styles of different painters. The analysis reveals that Vincent Van Gogh and Jackson Pol...

While artists demonstrate their individual styles through paintings and drawings, how to describe such artistic styles well selected visual features towards computerized analysis of the arts remains to be a challenging research problem. In this paper, we propose an integrated feature-based artistic descriptor with Monte Carlo Convex Hull (MCCH) feature selection model and support vector machine...

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...

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...

the archaeologists who have investigated ziwiyeh have presented different views about the constructors of material culture and its artistic styles. the majority of them, relying on one single object and analyzing its inscription and comparison with similar cases of adjacent cultures and sites, have attributed the origin of materials and artistic styles with respective region, and on the basis o...

Painterly rendering styles have received some attention lately as an interesting alternative to photorealistic image processing and synthesis. State of the art painterly renderings, while producing results that superficially resemble certain artistic styles, such as impressionistic or expressionistic, fail to convey the implicit detail provided by the artist’s choices of brushes
