    • The Aesthetics of the Underworld 

      Boukhelifa, Nadia; Duke, David J. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Although the development of computational aesthetics has largely concentrated on 3D geometry and illustrative rendering, aesthetics are equally an important principle underlying 2D graphics and information visualization. ...
    • Animating Persian Floral Patterns 

      Etemad, Katayoon; Samavati, Faramarz F.; Prusinkiewicz, Przemyslaw (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In this paper we describe Persian floral patterns and explore techniques for animating them. We present several approaches for this dynamic recreation: visualizing pattern symmetries, illustrating their design process, and ...
    • Applications of High Precision Imaging Polarimetry 

      Neumann, Laszlo; Hegedus, Ramon; Horváth, Gábor; Garcia, Rafael (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      We propose the use of imaging polarimetry for general photography, which is a relatively young technique allowing the determination of polarized components of the light coming from extended objects or scenes. In this paper ...
    • Art Catalogue

    • Arty Shapes 

      Song, Yi-Zhe; Rosin, Paul L.; Hall, Peter M.; Collomosse, John (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      This paper shows that shape simplification is a tool useful in Non-Photorealistic rendering from photographs, because it permits a level of abstraction otherwise unreachable. A variety of simple shapes (e.g. circles, ...
    • Composition in Perspectives 

      Fourquet, Elodie (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Composition is a key element of image aesthetics. However composition is hard to control when working in three dimensions to create a two dimensional image. A framework that derives perspective from a planar pattern is ...
    • Expressive Trajectories 

      Velho, Luiz; Martins, Julio; Bodanzky, Alice; Paterman, Ilana; Cordeiro, Analivia (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      This paper presents Expressive Trajectories, a project for Interactive Digital Art and Contemporary Dance. The project has two main components: X-Motion, a real-time interactive system for live performances; and Choreographisms, ...
    • Fast Visualisation and Interactive Design of Deterministic Fractals 

      Banisch, Sven; Sbert, Mateu (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 ...
    • Improving Scans of Black and White photographs by Recovering the Print Maker's Artistic Intent 

      German, Daniel M. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In this paper we propose a method that reverse engineers the aesthetic decisions made by a print maker to produce a print from a negative, namely cropping, contrast selection, and dodging-and-burning. It then re-applies ...
    • Inadvertent - Ars Accidentalis 

      Germen, Murat (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Even though art is the product of an intentional act of fabrication, the serendipitous spill of an ink or paint, the unforeseen slip of a pen or brush, sudden shake of a camera in the analog realm have the potential of ...
    • Informational Dialogue with Van Gogh's Paintings 

      Rigau, Jaume; Feixas, Miquel; Sbert, Mateu (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 ...
    • Mimicking Hand-Drawn Pencil Lines 

      Meraj, Zainab; Wyvill, Brian; Isenberg, Tobias; Gooch, Amy A.; Guy, Richard (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In applications such as architecture, early design sketches often mislead the target audience [SSRL96]. Approximate human-drawn sketches are typically accepted as a better way of demonstrating fundamental design concepts. ...
    • Modeling and Synthesis of Aperture Effects in Cameras 

      Lanman, Douglas; Raskar, Ramesh; Taubin, Gabriel (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In this paper we describe the capture, analysis, and synthesis of optical vignetting in conventional cameras. We analyze the spatially-varying point spread function (PSF) to accurately model the vignetting for any given ...
    • Perceptual and Computational Categories in Art 

      Wallraven, Christian; Cunningham, Douglas W.; Fleming, Roland (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      The categorization of art (paintings, literature) into distinct styles such as expressionism, or surrealism has had a profound influence on how art is presented, marketed, analyzed, and historicized. Here, we present results ...
    • Pictorial Analysis of Line-drawings 

      Hurtut, Thomas; Gousseau, Yann; Cheriet, Farida; Schmitt, Francis (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      We present in this paper an approach to the analysis of the pictorial content of artistic line-drawings. The pictorial content is the combination of the stylistic content and of the visual features of the represented ...
    • Regularity and Randomness in Bridget Riley's Aarly Op Art 

      Dodgson, Neil A. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      I investigate the trade-off between regularity and randomness in Bridget Riley's early Op art, focusing on White Discs 2 (1964) and Fragment 6/9 (1965). I build on this to investigate the trade-off more generally. I analyse ...
    • Seamless Integration of Labels into Interactive Virtual 3D Environments Using Parameterized Hulls 

      Maass, Stefan; Döllner, Jürgen (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      This paper presents an approach for the automated, dynamic placement of labels attached to objects of 3D scenes. These labels are seamlessly integrated into the 3D scene by textured polygons aligned to parameterized hulls, ...
    • Watercolor Illustrations of CAD Data 

      Luft, Thomas; Kobs, Frank; Zinser, Walter; Deussen, Oliver (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In this paper we describe a project that integrates a non-photorealistic rendering pipeline into an existing CAD system. The pipeline enables the customers of the CAD company to create aesthetically appealing renderings ...
