Toward Fractal Calligraphy

Toward fractal coding in auditory prostheses

Fractal-rate behavior is a ubiquitous and important aspect of normal mammalian cochlear-nerve activity, which may well be absent in nerve bers excited by present cochlear prostheses. We propose simple methods for introducing fractal uctuations into a cochlear prosthesis, thus providing the natural statistical character of eighth-nerve ber spike trains. Fractal behavior is ubiquitous in mammalia...

Introduction to Arabic Calligraphy

Style comparisons in calligraphy

Calligraphic style is considered, for this research, visual attributes of images of calligraphic characters sampled randomly from a “work” created by a single artist. It is independent of page layout or textual content. An experimental design is developed to investigate to what extent the source of a single, or of a few pairs, of character images can be assigned to the either same work or to tw...

Automatic Artistic Calligraphy Generation

We introduce a novel intelligent system which can generate new Chinese calligraphic artwork that meets certain aesthetic requirements automatically. In the machine learning phase, parametric representations of the existent calligraphic artwork are derived from input images of calligraphy. Using a six-layer hierarchical representation, the acquired knowledge is organized as a small structural st...

Style Consistent Calligraphy Tablet Design

A style-consistent calligraphy tablet designing approach is proposed in this paper. The layout of the tablet is calculated firstly. The calligraphy characters are retrieved from the ones written by the specific calligrapher, while the style-consistency calligraphy character synthesis approach is applied to synthesize the non-existent ones. Finally, these characters are adjusted so that their st...
