It describes each component element of Chinese ink painting in detail. Firstly, this paper presents brush emulation based on physical calculation. The brush model comprises a spine skeleton wrapped up a smooth surface which can be deformed through constrained energy minimization. The model can bend the skeleton and change the shape of the tuft when there is a force applied on the brush. Then, i...

In the emerging inter-disciplinary field of art and image processing, algorithms have been developed to assist the analysis of art work. In most applications, especially brush stroke analysis, high resolution digital images of paintings are required to capture subtle patterns and details in the high frequency range of the spectrum. Algorithms have been developed to learn styles of painters from...

Lifetime from: 2000 Lifetime to: 2003 Short description: Stochastic paintbrush rendering is an algorithm to simulate the painting process to get a picture similar to a real painting. The image can be described by the parameters of the consecutive paintbrush strokes, resulting in a parameter-series. In this project, we will explore this stroke-representation of images for Content Based Image Ret...

Renaissance painting from the early 15th to the mid-16th centuries originated in the area of present-day Italy. Inspired by the works of ancient Greece and Rome, artists produced painting based on topographic observation and the idealistic body proportion. Most of the paintings depict the human figure in perfect shape.

This work investigates pattern recognition techniques that can be used to identify the author of fine art paintings. The methodology proposed consists of four sequential phases: image acquisition, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. Brushstrokes are segmented assuming that hue is uniform within a single brushstroke. Using a wavelet-based technique, textures are measured and us...

This demonstration challenges the conventional art experience. It brings together the fields of art, science, and software integration. The goal was to create a new kind of painting based on embedded technology, experimenting with a new media: paintings augmented with RFIDs. The aim was to achieve interaction between the artist's paintings and art gallery visitors.

To generate a model of mammalian karyotype evolution and to extend our knowledge of the evolutionary relationships of mammals, it is helpful to deduce ancestral chromosomal arrangements. Of particular interest would be a global comparison among the 3 major extant groups of mammals, since this would reveal the most ancient arrangements of the mammalian genome and allow us to follow chromosomal r...

all forms of creative production born of an intimate and individual urge, often secretive, unbound from the conventional art system rules. Through short descriptions of the Outsider art work of prominent artists and new protagonists often hosted in community mental health services, this section intends to investigate the latest developments of the contemporary art scene, where the distances bet...

We present CoolPaint, a system for computer painting that uses a props-based direct interaction technique. By instrumenting real paint brushes and developing corresponding digital models of the brushes, we allow the user to control digital tools by directly manipulating their physical counterparts. In addition, we use a tabletop display which allows the display space and interaction space to be...

The development of 24-colour fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) has led to significant advances in cytogenetic research and offers the potential for automated karyotypic analysis. However, these techniques are not in routine research or clinical use because of limitations in methods of probe preparation. This article presents new probe construction protocols and strategies for multiple-c...
