In order to analyse paintings, specialists use many different techniques exploring different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum: near infra-red, ultra-violet, X-rays, etc. But surprisingly, the visual domain has rarely been analysed, probably because colour perception is a very complex domain, being rather difficult to analyse adequately by means of automatic techniques. Our visual sensation...

Interactivity is an integral part of engaging children with what they are learning. We address this engagement by creating an interactive entertainment and learning tool for children to use in the classroom or at home using a painting scenario. We do this by coalescing music, multimedia and electronics together through the real-time mapping of painting gestures into musical output and feedback....

In this paper a dynamic image representation is proposed by combining advantages of both raster and vector graphics in the triangulation. In order for a dynamic mesh to remain a triangulation, a method which maintains integrity of representation is devised. Together with techniques for synthesizing paint, the end result is a configurable scheme demonstrating potential as a viable alternative fo...

Painting style transformation aims to produce a painting in a particular artist’s style from a picture or other paintings. In the previous implementations of example-based painting style transfer, users had to manually select the patches from example patches. It is time-consuming and subjective for a user to select proper patches from a large number of patches. This paper develops a patch-based...

In Painting is the strength of reconstructing engrossed or gaga joining of images based on the background information. i. e. cast In Painting fills the off or incapacitated quarter in an figure utilizing spatial information of its neighboring region. In Painting algorithm have numerous applications. It is helpfully second-hand for certification of aged films and end deduction in digital photogr...

This paper presents a fast and viable method of painting image retrieval. The painting is first isolated using edge detection and region counting. We use perspective transform and eigenimage analysis to select the desired image.

the concept of decision making, factors influencing it and the related outcomes have always attracted researchers. the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sacred values on decision making, decision difficulty and the resulting negative emotions. thus, a sample of 288 students from the university of guilan were chosen as subjects and were required to complete a standard questio...

812 Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 13, No. 5, May 2007 I paintings on paper, known as “miniatures,” can be found in books from as far back as the 11th century, most from the 14th through the 19th century. They vary from postage stamp size to more than a yard in height and are called miniatures partly to distinguish them from murals, which they followed as a genre (1). Lik...

The Transfiguration scene depicted in a Byzantine church at Shivta, Israel, is one of two figurative examples of the scene from the early Christian period. The use of Egyptian blue pigment in the wall painting was investigated with various analytical methods. Visible Induced Luminescence (VIL) imaging was used in-situ in order to map the distribution of the Egyptian blue pigment in the painting...
