This paper presents an algorithm and its applications for artistic rendering of recorded video data following ideas of non-photorealistic rendering. The proposed algorithm does not only work on a variety of artistic rendering styles for static photography but it can also be applied to the creation of artistic videos. Cartoon-like and comic-like styles are the two artistic styles considered in t...

Computer-assisted animation production tools have an important role in animation production industries. They could reduce the production cost and time. In this paper, a new computer-assisted artistic pattern drawing system is proposed. The system automatically adds artistic patterns to 2D animations. The artistic patters are captured from key frames drawn by an animator and are applied to line ...

Artistic rendering is a subset of non-photorealistic rendering with the intention of using artistic effects in rendered images. This paper looks at texture transfer as a generalized method to render digital images in artistic styles. Texture transfer algorithms transfer the source texture to a target image. Since artistic style is subjective, this algorithm has four adjustable parameters that a...

Artistic BCI applications offer a new modality for humans to express themselves creatively. In this survey we reviewed the available literature on artistic BCIs by classifying four types of user control afforded by the available applications: selective control, passive control, direct control and collaborative control. A brief overview of the history of artistic BCIs is presented, followed by e...
