The generation of data has traditionally been specified using hand-crafted algorithms. However, oftentimes the exact generative process is unknown while only a limited number of samples are observed. One such case is generating images that look visually similar to an exemplar image or as if coming from a distribution of images. We look into learning the generating process by constructing a simi...

This paper presents an artistic rendering system for generating 3D images of Chinese paintings using graphics hardware. The user can adjust suitable parameters flexibly to generate different brush styles as his/her hobby, and see rendering results in real time. In this system, we propose a hardware-accelerated method to draw Chinese painting strokes efficiently along visible silhouettes. Three-...

Abstract Art Nouveau architecture during the last century experienced drastic change of attitude – from complete denial to glorification. However, many publications still repeat same stereotypes style assessment, focusing on decorative layer as seemingly main feature style. Some significant values heritage are only partially or incompletely recognized. In this paper, several less known examples...

We present HyperNST; a neural style transfer (NST) technique for the artistic stylization of images, based on Hyper-networks and StyleGAN2 architecture. Our contribution is novel method inducing parameterized by metric space, pre-trained style-based visual search (SBVS). show first time that such space may be used to drive NST, enabling application interpolation styles from an SBVS system. The ...

This article presents an integrated approach for the authentication of five Russian icons through the study of their paint materials (elemental composition and stratigraphic mapping), state of conservation and artistic technique. The results of the applied analytical protocol, involving optical and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and Fourier transf...

Instrumental music performance ranks among the most complex of learned human behaviors, requiring development of highly nuanced powers of sensory and neural discrimination, intricate motor skills, and adaptive abilities in a temporal activity. Teaching, learning and performing on the violin generally occur within musico-cultural parameters most often transmitted through aural traditions that in...
