Artistic rendering of human portraits is different and more challenging than that of landscapes or flowers. Issues are eye, nose, and mouth regions (i.e. facial features) where we need to represent their natural emotions. Shades or darkness around eyes, or shininess at nose tips may negatively impact the rendering result if not properly dealt with. Similarly, a lighter colour around the mouth r...

A technique is presented for line art rendering of scenes composed of freeform surfaces. The line art that is created for parametric surfaces is practically intrinsic and is globally invariant to changes in the surface parameterization. This method is equally applicable for line art rendering of implicit forms, creating a unified line art rendering method for both parametric and implicit forms....

Domain-specific knowledge of paintings defines a wide range of concepts for annotation and flexible retrieval of paintings. In this work, we employ the ontology of artistic concepts that includes visual (or atomic) concepts at the intermediate level and high-level concepts at the application level. Visual-level concepts include artistic color and brushwork concepts that serve as cues for annota...
