Full-body, unencumbered, gestural interfaces o er new possibilities for computer painting tools. However, traditional painting metaphors and current gestural input technology are not well suited to one another; the user cannot be tracked with su cient accuracy to support brush-like or pen-like painting. Our approach to this problem has been to interpose di erent layers of abstraction between in...

texture, one of the important elements in visual arts, is produced in different ways. whereas each painting is a multilayered object, any separate layer can have its own distinct texture. texture can be resulted of inherent nature of artist's depicted materials, such as canvas or support, and it can be, also, produced in the ground or paint layers. in addition, by using of different materi...

This paper presents a novel Chinese calligraphy and painting system, which serves as an expressive vehicle for interactively creating Chinese traditional calligraphy and ink-wash painting works. We developed a brush model which gives the user natural control of complex brush strokes. This model enhances the realistic sense of the user’s manipulating the pen with the pressure sense. We also deve...

We present two methods to create realistic Chinese painting. The first method is to create 3D Chinese painting animation using existing software packages. The second method is an expressive paint tool which allows an artist to interactively create 2D Chinese painting.

The relationship between the activity of painting and performance of stereotyped and other stress-related behaviour was investigated in four captive Asian elephants at Melbourne Zoo, Australia. The activity involved the elephant being instructed to paint on a canvas by its keeper in front of an audience. Painting by elephants in zoos is commonly believed to be a form of enrichment, but this ass...

Introduction: Lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) brain images are known to affect automated image registration and segmentation. Improved registration of MS brains has been demonstrated, by prior in-painting of lesions with white matter (WM) signal intensity (SI) derived from neighboring voxels [1]. Here we present an alternative fully-automated approach using the whole-brain histogram and imag...

Complex probes used in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) usually contain repetitive DNA sequences. For chromosome painting, in situ suppression of these repetitive DNA sequences has been well established. Standard painting protocols require large amounts of an unlabeled 'blocking agent', for instance Cot-1 DNA. Recently, it has become possible to remove repetitive DNA sequences from lib...

This paper presents a novel interactive system for guiding artists to paint using traditional media and tools. The enabling technology is a multi-projector display capable of controlling the appearance of an artist’s canvas. Artists are guided by this display-on-canvas to execute painting techniques. The artist paints according to a linear process of painting by numbers, one layer at a time. Ea...
