Constructive picture description with Euclidean geometry

Abstract

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.

Super TEX‐SIM: Interactive textile design and simulation

“…We did not use the geometric approach that was seen in apparel CAD design. 6 The data manager is intended to manage all the data created during texture mapping, and to provide various kinds of interfaces necessary for modifying an image interactively (Table VI). The image editor includes the functions for editing mask, mesh and image data.…”
