Based on artistic techniques for the creation of stained glass, we introduce a method to automatically create images in stained glass stylization of images. Our algorithm first applies segmentation, and performs region simplification to merge and simplify the segments. The system then queries a database of glass swatch images and computes an optimal matching subset based on color and texture me...

We present an algorithm that models stained glass in a physicallyrealistic manner. Stained glass is made by melting glass material with metal oxides that determine the color. Metal oxides are scattered in the glass, and we model it by distributing metal oxides in the volume defined by the glass. We render our stained glass model using a modified photon mapping. Our model is capable of modeling ...

Medieval stained glass windows are a stylized artform that has not previously been thoroughly treated in the computer graphics literature. In this paper, we present an automated method for transforming an arbitrary image into a stained-glass version of that image. The key issues in designing a stained glass window are the tile boundaries and tile colors. We use erosion and dilation operators to...

We propose a new region-based method for stained glass rendering of an input photograph. We achieve more regular region sizes than previous methods by using simple linear iterative clustering, or SLIC, to obtain tile boundaries. The SLIC regions respect image edges but provide an oversegmentation suitable for stained glass. We distinguish between important boundaries that match image edges, and...
