Characterizing The Natural Pen Stroke
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present initial results of a study on the effects of biomechanical influences in the human hand on the natural pen stroke. A geometric model suggests that a user interface, curved to match the natural motion of the hand, would be more appropriate than a user interface aligned with the horizontal and vertical boundaries of the display device. While our results confirm the presence of a curve in the natural pen stroke, the curve does not appear to be of sufficient magnitude to justify modifying user interfaces.

Creating Pen-and-Ink Illustration Using Stroke Morphing Method
Most illustration systems need a lot of user strokes to generate natural-looking pen-and-ink illustrations. In order. to reduce the number of user strokes necessary, we propose a new method for pen-and-ink illustrations using a stroke morphing concept. For this, we introduce a general stroke morphing procedure, which consists of both jlow-oriented morphing and shape-oriented morphing. Using thi...
متن کاملA curvature estimation for pen input segmentation in sketch-based modeling
A proper segmentation of pen marking enhances shape recognition and enables a natural interface for sketch-based modeling from simple line drawing tools to 3D solid modeling applications; user input is otherwise restricted to draw only one segment per one stroke. In general, the pen marking segmentation is achieved by detecting the points of high curvature-called, segmenting points-and splittin...
متن کاملPhrasing techniques for multi-stroke selection gestures
Pen gesture interfaces have difficulty supporting arbitrary multiple-stroke selections because lifting the pen introduces ambiguity as to whether the next stroke should add to the existing selection, or begin a new one. We explore and evaluate techniques that use a non-preferred-hand button or touchpad to phrase together one or more independent pen strokes into a unitary multistroke gesture. We...
متن کاملKevin Foster M . Sc .
Artists frequently imply the shape and form of an object using an accurate natural-science style employing pen-and-ink. This style is useful because it allows for fast-interpretation of images, it can help focus the viewers attention on specific details and can provide extra information about the object(s). Given these positive properties, this style is important to simulate. This thesis presen...
متن کاملImage-based Real-time Hatching of Scene Traveling
Real-time rendering of a complete 3D scene with hatching strokes is an important direction in NPR field. In this paper, a comprehensive solution is presented to render complicate scenes with pen-and-ink style in real time. With the help of powerful programmable graphics hardware, our real-time system includes many features as hatching, continuous tones, silhouettes, and shadows. We build our ap...
