Pictorial Style : Lessons from Linguistics and Computer
نویسنده
چکیده
A definition of pictorial style in terms of distinctive combinations of pictorial devices characteristic of a particular culture or period or the work of an individual artist is proposed. Four kinds of pictorial structure are described: the drawing (spatial) systems, the denotation systems, the mark systems and the attributes systems. Three pictures by Poussin, Rembrandt and the Achilles painter are then analyzed in terms of these four systems. It is suggested that descriptions of style of this kind can be thought of as hypotheses about the nature of the implicit rules that generated the pictures to which they were applied. Examples of ways of testing this suggestion by embodying such stylistic rules in computer graphics programs are given.

متن کاملStatistical Analysis and Transfer of Coarse-Grain Pictorial Style
We show that image statistics can be used to analyze and transfer simple notions of pictorial style of paintings and photographs. We characterize the frequency content of pictorial styles, such as multi-scale, spatial variations, anisotropy properties, using a multi-scale and oriented decomposition, the steerable pyramid. We show that the average of the absolute steerable coefficients as a func...

متن کاملStatistical Analysis and Transfer of Pictorial Styles
Humans read content from images. However, images have not only content, but also a notion of style. Some pictorial styles differ noticeably and can be distinguished without careful inspection of the picture. This paper analyzes the style that can be noticeable at a pre-attentive level, using image statistics. Since the way images are decoded in the human visual system is related to the structur...
