TilerPro is a web-based software system for building symmetric tiling designs. With TilerPro, the user is able to quickly build and save a large number of aesthetic tiling designs. Graphics generation by TilerPro takes place entirely on the client-side using SVG with program code written in JavaScript. This paper gives an overview of the system.

A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that encodes information. A standard QR code contains only regular black and white squares, and thus is unattractive. This paper proposes a novel framework for embellishing a standard QR code, to make it both attractive and recognizable by any human while maintaining its scanability. The proposed method is inspired by artistic methods. A QR code is typical...

The artistic style (or artistic movement) of a painting is a rich descriptor that captures both visual and historical information about the painting. Correctly identifying the artistic style of a paintings is crucial for indexing large artistic databases. In this paper, we investigate the use of deep residual neural to solve the problem of detecting the artistic style of a painting and outperfo...

This paper presents DrawCompileEvolve, a web-based drawing tool which allows users to draw simple primitive shapes, group them together or define patterns in their groupings (e.g. symmetry, repetition). The user’s vector drawing is then compiled into an indirectly encoded genetic representation, which can be evolved interactively, allowing the user to change the image’s colors, patterns and ult...

In composing hand-drawn images of 3D scenes, artists often alter the projection for each object in the scene independently, thereby generating multiprojection images. We present a tool for creating such multiprojection images and animations, consisting of two parts: a multiprojection rendering algorithm and an interactive interface for attaching local cameras to the scene geometry. We describe ...

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...

We describe a flexible algorithm that can create many different kinds of aesthetic fractal patterns. The main idea of the algorithm is to randomly place progressively smaller copies of a motif within a region, thus producing a fractal pattern. This has been found to work for a wide variety of shapes for both the motif and the enclosing region. We show a several examples. If the region is a fund...
