With the vast expansion of digital contemporary painting collections, automatic theme stylization has grown in demand in both academic and commercial fields. The recent interest in deep neural networks has provided powerful visual features that achieve state-of-the-art results in various visual classification tasks. In this work, we examine the perceptiveness of these features in identifying ar...

Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is an area of computer graphics that studies artistic expressions for digital art. Unlike traditional computer graphics that emphasizes photorealism, NPR explores a wide variety of artistic styles including painting, sketching, and animated cartoons, and develops algorithms for recreating them. One art form that is largely unexplored in computer graphics is Op...

In this work the possible influences of some retinal eye problems on paintings of several famous artists are considered. The change of painting styles and artistic expression in different periods and ages in a group of world-wide well-known painters are described and correlated with known or suspected retinal diseases. Some of them largely became recognizable because of that. Contemplations are...

The emergence of non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) over the greater part of a decade has created an intriguing new field espousing expression, abstraction and stylisation in preference to the traditional computer graphics concerns for photorealism. By lifting the burden of realism, NPR is capable of engaging with users, providing compelling and unique experiences through devices such as abstra...

The article analyzes the development of Ukrainian art late Soviet decades (from «thaw» to perestroika), in which against background gradual blurring socialist realism there were changes official art, space was enriched by formal-plastic techniques, styles, traditions, giving rise original artistic phenomena.

This paper describes a method for learning statistical models of 2D curves, and shows how these models can be used to design line art rendering styles by example. A user can create a new style by providing an example of the style, e.g. by sketching a curve in a drawing program. Our method can then synthesize random new curves in this style, and modify existing curves to have the same style as t...

At present, with the rapid development of global economy and improvement people’s life quality, demands for products are not only limited to pursuit practical functions. Instead, people also pursue certain ornamental values besides Individualization becomes an indispensable part. People’s sight enjoying cannot be satisfied by many conventional designs anymore. People start paying attention uniq...

In this paper, we present a series of experiments that were conducted to further understand how using adaptive levels of artistic abstraction within an interactive 3D scene can influence user gaze behaviour. We found that when an object was placed in the center of stylised focus, users took significantly less time to complete a search and recognition task in comparison to normal renderings or w...
