Thursday 16 Feb 2012: Artistic Minimal Rendering with Lines and Blocks
Dr. Paul Rosin - School of Computer Science and Informatics, Cardiff University
Harrison 170 15:00-16:00
Many non-photorealistic rendering techniques exist to produce artistic effects from given images. Inspired by various artists, interesting effects can be produced by using a minimal rendering, where the minimum refers to the number of tones as well as the number and complexity of the primitives used for rendering.
This talk will describe a method that is based on various computer vision techniques, and uses a combination of refined lines and regions (potentially simplified), as well as a small number of tones, to produce abstracted artistic rendering with sufficient elements from the original image.
In addition, a variety of methods have been developed to produce different artistic styles, such as colour and two-tone drawings, and use semantic information to improve renderings for foreground objects and faces. By changing some intuitive parameters a wide range of visually pleasing results can be produced.
