First person sketch-based terrain editing

چکیده
We present a new method for first person sketch-based editing of terrain models. As in usual artistic pictures, the input sketch depicts complex silhouettes with cusps and T-junctions, which typically correspond to non-planar curves in 3D. After analysing depth constraints in the sketch based on perceptual cues, our method best matches the sketched silhouettes with silhouettes or ridges of the input terrain. A specific deformation algorithm is then applied to the terrain, enabling it to exactly match the sketch from the given perspective view, while insuring that none of the user-defined silhouettes is hidden by another part of the terrain. As our results show, this method enables users to easily personalize an existing terrain, while preserving its plausibility and style.

متن کاملFrequency-Based Creation and Editing of Virtual Terrain
Authoring virtual terrains can be a challenging task. Procedural and stochastic methods for automated terrain generation produce plausible results but lack intuitive control of the terrain features, while data driven methods offer more creative control at the cost of a limited feature set, higher storage requirements and blending artefacts. Moreover, artists often prefer a workflow involving va...
متن کاملSentient World: Human-Based Procedural Cartography An Experiment in Interative Sketching and Iterative Refining
This paper presents a first step towards a mixed-initiative tool for the creation of game maps. The tool, named Sentient World, allows the designer to draw a rough terrain sketch, adding extra levels of detail through stochastic and gradient search. Novelty search generates a number of dissimilar artificial neural networks that are trained to approximate a designer’s sketch and provide maps of ...
متن کاملSketch Recognition with Natural Correction and Editing
In this paper, we target at the problem of sketch recognition. We systematically study how to incorporate users’ correction and editing into isolated and full sketch recognition. This is a natural and necessary interaction in real systems such as Visio where very similar shapes exist. First, a novel algorithm is proposed to mine the prior shape knowledge for three editing modes. Second, to diff...
متن کاملRingEdit: A Control Point Based Editing Approach in Sketch Recognition Systems
Editing a sketch should be one of the essential features provided by sketch recognition systems to allow people to modify what they have drawn, without having to delete and redraw shapes. This paper introduces a control point based editing approach we call RingEdit. RingEdit differs from other sketch editors in that the user actually draws their own control points on the sketch, rather than rel...
