Generation of Engineering Research Directions Through Artistic Process

This paper describes the creation of SwarmVision, a system of autonomous robotic cameras that functions both as the basis for an art installation and as an instrument for generating novel engineering research. Through a series of interviews with engineers who examined the project, we illustrate how experimentation with the instrument could lead to potential new research directions in computer v...

FIRST MOVEMENT : Artistic Design

A support environment for audio-related artistic design is described. The rst part of the paper identiies requirements for artistic design support through an analysis of music composition activities, and presents an artistic design system object model adapted from the more conventional engineering design system technology. The second part examines the problems of representation, visualisation a...

I attempt to provide some groundwork for a defensible modern version of such a theory via some novel further criticisms of Collingwood, including the exposure of multiple ambiguities in his main concept of expression of emotion, and a demonstration that, surprisingly enough, his vi...

Artistic Rendering of Portraits

This chapter presents an overview of the latest artistic portrait rendering techniques. Artistic rendering or portraits can be viewed as an image generating process controlled by two factors. The first one is the face fidelity, namely, a rendered portrait image should preserve a certain amount of the original face’s information. The second factor is the artistic style, for example, sketch, pain...
