Genre is a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content (according to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary [2] – among two other, less relevant definitions). It can be debated whether a genre can be defined by style (and form) alone, or must content (topic) also be taken into account. For example, can science fiction be distinguished ...

Screen-style frescoes, found in the temples of Gaoping County, Shanxi Province, China, and originating mostly from the Qing Dynasty, present a unique painting form. Folk artists not only painted the screen, a common object in everyday life in ancient China, on the wall surfaces, but also created a variety of paintings inside the screen panels, whereby the viewer sees a painting within a paintin...

Neural style transfer is an emerging technique which is able to endow daily-life images with attractive artistic styles. Previous work has succeeded in applying convolutional neural network (CNN) to style transfer for monocular images or videos. However, style transfer for stereoscopic images is still a missing piece. Different from processing a monocular image, the two views of a stylized ster...

Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR), whose aim is to create artistic style images, is one of the important research topics in computer graphics. One example of NPR is an art form called ASCII art which represents pictures using character strings. ASCII art is commonly used in media that cannot display images or mainly use text, such as e-mail and bulletin board system. ASCII art can be categoriz...

In this paper we describe a project that integrates a non-photorealistic rendering pipeline into an existing CAD system. The pipeline enables the customers of the CAD company to create aesthetically appealing renderings in addition to the classical CAD output. Since these customers are operating in the high-quality segment of furniture and interior design, the visual style of the sales brochure...

A number of Non-Photorealistic Rendering methods for producing artistic style images have been developed. Recently, a method called “Image Analogies” was proposed. This method is based on the idea of example-based filtering that uses a pair of images (an original image and a filtered image) as training data and creates an image which has a style that resembles the filtered image of the training...

Artistic painting of human portraits are more challenging than landscapes or flowers. Challenges are eye and nose areas where we need to avoid alterations from their natural appearance. Shades or darkness around eyes, or shininess at the nose tip may negatively impact the rendering result if not properly dealt with. The proposed computerized method attempts to be adaptive to those sensitive are...
