the glorious prophetic parables, as part of the islamic parables, contain the expressions so impressive and delightful that indicate the splendid eloquence of the blessed prophet. these parables _ which have strong context, novel concept, and firm style, and originated from a dynamic and profound thought and have many advantages _ indicate that the blessed prophet spoke in perfect eloquence and...

A New Artistic Rendering of Izapa Stela 5 A Step toward Improved Interpretation

Illustrative parallel coordinates (IPC) is a suite of artistic rendering techniques for augmenting and improving parallel coordinate (PC) visualizations. IPC techniques can be used to convey a large amount of information about a multidimensional dataset in a small area of the screen through the following approaches: (a) edge-bundling through splines; (b) visualization of “branched ” clusters to...

This chapter presents an overview of the latest artistic portrait rendering techniques. Artistic rendering or portraits can be viewed as an image generating process controlled by two factors. The first one is the face fidelity, namely, a rendered portrait image should preserve a certain amount of the original face’s information. The second factor is the artistic style, for example, sketch, pain...

This paper describes a method for learning statistical models of 2D curves, and shows how these models can be used to design line art rendering styles by example. A user can create a new style by providing an example of the style, e.g. by sketching a curve in a drawing program. Our method can then synthesize random new curves in this style, and modify existing curves to have the same style as t...

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are being progressively developed, artists and researchers investigating their role in artistic practices. In this work, we present an AI-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) which humans machines interact to express feelings artistically. This system its production of images give opportunities reflect on the comp...

Artistic painting of human portraits are more challenging than landscapes or flowers. Challenges are eye and nose areas where we need to avoid alterations from their natural appearance. Shades or darkness around eyes, or shininess at the nose tip may negatively impact the rendering result if not properly dealt with. The proposed computerized method attempts to be adaptive to those sensitive are...

A technique is presented for line art rendering of scenes composed of freeform surfaces. The line art that is created for parametric surfaces is practically intrinsic and is globally invariant to changes in the surface parameterization. This method is equally applicable for line art rendering of implicit forms, creating a unified line art rendering method for both parametric and implicit forms....

In recent years, several techniques have been proposed for automatically producing line-art illustrations. In this paper a new non photo-realistic rendering scheme for triangulated surfaces is presented. In contrast to prior approaches with parametric surfaces, there is no global parameterization for triangle meshes. So a new approach is made to automatically generate a direction field for the ...

An artistic rendering method of free-form surfaces with the aid of half-toned text that is laid-out on the given surface is presented. The layout of the text is computed using symbolic composition of the free-form parametric surface S(u, v) with cubic or linear Bézier curve segments C(t) = {cu(t), cv(t)}, comprising the outline of the text symbols. Once the layout is constructed on the surface,...
