This paper looks at the motivation for simulating painting directly on 3D objects, and investigates the main issues faced by such systems. These issues include the provision of natural user interfaces, the reproduction of realistic brush effects and the surface parameterization for texture mapping so that the results of the painting can be stored on texture maps. The paper further investigates ...

We realize a painting system that imitates painting on real objects in the real world. Many studies have proposed methods of painting simulation on 2D canvas, and the quality of such methods is improving. However, painting on 3D objects is not easy using conventional input devices such as a mouse or graphics tablet with 2D display. We solved this problem by providing a ToolDevice in a mixed rea...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable paralyzed patients to communicate; however, up to date, no creative expression was possible. The current study investigated the accuracy and user-friendliness of P300-Brain Painting, a new BCI application developed to paint pictures using brain activity only. Two different versions of the P300-Brain Painting application were tested: A colored matrix teste...

It is difficult for consumers to judge whether a painting or poster would fit well in their rooms without actually mounting the painting on the wall. A solution is proposed to allow users to their DROID mobile phones to preview what the painting looks like on the wall using the phone’s camera and its screen. The system is a marker-based, augmented-reality system that can place paintings on wall...

The paper reports results on the automation of the spray-painting process in industrial powder coating plants. The automation of the spray-painting process requires a painting model and the definition of appropriate metrics for painting task validation. Two main topics are addressed in the paper: motion planning of paint deposition and paint quality analysis. A paint quality function is formula...

Meg Kral, MS, OTR/L, CLT, is the cover artist for the Summer 2015 issue of The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy. Her untitled piece of art is an oil painting and is a re-creation of a photograph taken while on vacation. Meg is currently supervisor of outpatient services at Rush University Medical Center. She is lymphedema certified and has a specific interest in breast cancer lymphedema. Ar...

In this paper,we investigate the problemof scheduling a 6DOF robotic arm to carry out a sequence of spray painting tasks. The duration of any given painting task is process dependent and fixed, but the duration of an ‘‘intertask’’, corresponding to the process of relocating and reorienting the robot arm from one painting task to the next one, is influenced by the order of tasks andmust be minim...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the influence of neglect and the effect of Prism Adaptation (PA) combined with continuous Theta-Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (cTBS) on the art constructive errors of painting rehabilitation of stroke patients with neglect. Methods: Fourteen patients with neglect and art constructive errors of painting secondary to stroke were randomly as...
