This paper proposes a novel approach to picture description called constructive picture description. In this approach, the points which specify pictures are defined through repetitive geometrical constructions, and the final image is drawn by referring to those points. This approach fulfills the requirements for picture description: easiness, intuitiveness, uniqueness, and less computation. In addition to that, to clarify the feature of our constructive picture description, we discuss the relationship between our proposal and formal elementary plane geometry. We show the usefulness of constructive picture description through three examples: a generalpurpose preprocessor, apparel patternmaking, and Tibetan mandala image generation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
