Motion flows

MOTIVATION: Understand how motion in 3D induces motion in images (acretions, deletions, compressions, dilations, etc). Useful for stylization purposes, layout enhancement, and probably much more. INSPIRATION: Bousseau et al. work on watercolorisation of videos. Gibson’s book “The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception”. Specular Motion and 3D Shape EstimationDicle N. Dövencioğlu, Ohad Ben-Shahar, Pascal Barla, Katja DoerschnerJournal … Read more

Procedural drawing

MOTIVATION: Automate the production of drawing patterns composed of many simple elements. Derive the procedure from scratch or from an example, correlate to underlying image features when available. INSPIRATION: Ostromoukhov et al. & Hurtut et al. example-based techniques. Grabli et al. & Loi et al. procedural drawing systems. Zaidi et al. perceptual experiments on shape-from-textures. … Read more
