Interactive Volume Illustration Using Intensity Filtering
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
We propose a simple and interactive technique for volume illustration by using the difference between the original intensity values and a low-pass filtered copy. This difference, known as unsharped mask, provides us with ...
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, ...
Fast Visualisation and Interactive Design of Deterministic Fractals
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)
This paper describes an interactive software tool for the visualisation and the design of artistic fractal images. The software (called AttractOrAnalyst) implements a fast algorithm for the visualisation of basins of ...
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 ...
Benford's Law for Natural and Synthetic Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
Benford's Law (also known as the First Digit Law) is well known in statistics of natural phenomena. It states that, when dealing with quantities obtained from Nature, the frequency of appearance of each digit in the first ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
An Information-Theoretic Ambient Occlusion
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
Ambient occlusion is a powerful technique that mimics indirect global illumination at a fraction of the cost. In this paper, we introduce a new ambient occlusion technique based on information-theoretic concepts. A viewpoint ...
