Non-photorealistic rendering

Supervisor: Professor P.L. Rosin

Keywords: Graphics, Image Processing, Computer Vision.

A new trend in computer graphics is the convergence towards computer vision & image processing. One such topic is non-photorealistic rendering in which models or images are rendered in a more artistic manner. Many such filters (e.g. watercolour, stained glass, etc) are now available. However, compared to such methods which use a dense accumulation of strokes to create the image, it is much more difficult to create a sparse rendering, in which just a few (well shaped and well placed) strokes are used. This will require the project to develop measures to quantify the aesthetic quality of such renderings, taking into account such factors.

Key Skills/Background: Strong computing and mathematical skills required
