Applications of Information Theory to Computer Graphics
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
We present different applications of information theory to computer graphics, based on the use of the measures of entropy, mutual information, f-divergences and generalized entropies. The application areas are hierarchical ...
Visibility Complexity of a Region in Flatland
(Eurographics Association, 2000)
The aim of this paper is to study the visibility complexity of different regions in a 2D scene. Based on mutual information, which we used in our previous work to define scene complexity, we propose two measures that ...
Information-Theoretic Oracle Based on Kernel Smoothness for Hierarchical Radiosity
(Eurographics Association, 2002)
One of the main problems in the radiosity method is how to discretise the surfaces of a scene into mesh elements that allow us to accurately represent illumination. In this paper we present a robust information-theoretic ...
Conceptualizing Birkhoff's Aesthetic Measure Using Shannon Entropy and Kolmogorov Complexity
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
In 1928, George D. Birkhoff introduced the Aesthetic Measure, defined as the ratio between order and complexity, and, in 1965, Max Bense analyzed Birkhoff s measure from an information theory point of view. In this paper, ...
Toward Auvers Period: Evolution of van Gogh's Style
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
In this paper, we analyze the evolution of van Gogh's style toward the Auvers final period using informational measures. We will try to answer the following questions: Was van Gogh exploring new ways toward changing his ...
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 ...
Informational Dialogue with Van Gogh's Paintings
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)
From the pioneering work by Birkhoff, several measures have been proposed to quantify the aesthetic content of art. After Bense's application of information theory to Birkhoff's ideas, the concept of informational aesthetics ...
Refinement Criteria Based on f-Divergences
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)
In several domains a refinement criterion is often needed to decide whether to go on or to stop sampling a signal. When the sampled values are homogeneous enough, we assume that they represent the signal fairly well and ...
Aesthetic Appraisal of Art - from Eye Movements to Computers
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
By looking at a work of art, an observer enters into a dialogue. In this work, we attempt to analyze this dialogue with both behavioral and computational tools. In two experiments, observers were asked to look at a large ...
