Defining Computational Aesthetics
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)This paper attempts to define the discipline of Computational Aesthetics in the context of computer science, partly reflecting the contributions and comprehensive discussions of the first EG Workshop on Computational ... -
Designing Metrics for the Purpose of Aesthetically Evaluating
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)The algorithmic and evolutionary art movements within computer-generated art have helped spur interest in evaluating images on the basis of their aesthetic merit. When attempting to use non-interactive techniques to address ... -
Enhancing Perceived Depth in Images Via Artistic Matting
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)We present an algorithm for the addition of artistic mattes to digital images for the purpose of enhancing the sense of depth in the image. We provide examples exploring color and double mattes as well as report the results ... -
Fast Techniques for Mosaic Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Art often provides valuable hints for technological innovations especially in the field of Image Processing and Computer Graphics. In this paper we survey in an unified framework three methods to transform a raster input ... -
Form Follows Function: Aesthetic Interactive Labels
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Labels effectively convey co-referential relations between textual and visual elements and are a powerful tool to support learning tasks. Therefore, almost all illustrations in scientific or technical documents employ a ... -
A Generative Model For Dynamic Canvas Motion
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)We present techniques for constructing realistic canvas and paper models and for enabling interactive dynamic canvas motion. Dynamic canvas motion means that there is a correspondence between the motion of canvas features ... -
Global Contrast Factor - a New Approach to Image Contrast
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Contrast in image processing is usually defined as a ratio between the darkest and the brightest spots of an image. In this paper we introduce a different contrast definition. The newly introduced Global Contrast Factor ... -
Illustrative Scientific Visualization Framework
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Current scientific visualization techniques create complex images that may be difficult to interpret and do not have the expressiveness of illustrations. Incorporating traditional scientific illustration techniques into a ... -
Illustrative Visualization for Medical Training
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)A system is presented that produces images that simulate pictorial representations for both scientific and biomedical visualization. It combines traditional and novel volume illustration techniques. We present examples to ... -
An Information-Theoretic Framework for Image Complexity
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)In this paper, we introduce a new information-theoretic approach to study the complexity of an image. The new framework we present here is based on considering the information channel that goes from the histogram to the ... -
On Nonlinear Perspectives in Science, Art and Nature
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Classic perspectives, i.e., central projections onto a plane, are extremely common in our days. Photos, movies, computer generated animations almost exclusively use this technique. They are linear since straight lines in ... -
On the Origins of the Term Computational Aesthetics
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)To provide some background, as well as a historical context, for the Eurographics 2005 Workshop on Graphics, Visualization and Imaging we provide a chronology, complete with references, covering various research activities ... -
A Palette-Driven Approach to Image Color Transfer
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Color analysis of images for the purpose of color balancing, color contrast, and color correction is critical in image processing applications. Color analysis of images for the purpose of palette extraction has received ... -
Sketch Based Construction and Rendering of Implicit Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)We present an implicit modeling system as a tool for creating a wide range of aesthetic models. Because of their ability to form blends and produce both organic shapes as well as man-made objects, implicit surfaces are a ... -
Smart Visibility in Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)In this paper we discuss expressive visualization techniques that smartly uncover the most important information in order to maximize the visual information in the resulting images. This is achieved through dynamic changes ... -
Spectral Colour Order Systems and Appearance Metrics for Fluorescent Solid Colours
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)One aspect of Computational Aesthetics is the finding of harmonic colours for the objects in a scene. Although the obtained degree of colour harmony is a subjective criterion, experience shows that on average human observers ... -
Straight away on Curved Spaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Two points of a Euclidean space can always be connected by the simplest of the curves, the straight line. This curve is unique (it s required), with a constant direction and a minimal length between the two points. The ... -
Viewpoint Quality: Measures and Applications
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)Several methods that use the notion of viewpoint quality have been recently introduced in different areas of computer graphics, such as scene understanding, exploration of virtual worlds, radiosity and global illumination, ...
