Field Coupling-Based Image Filter for Sand Painting Stylization

Abstract

Sand painting is a very new and popular performance art technique, and it has important meaning for the artistic creation. Computer-aided sand painting is now in the ascendant, whose fully automated mechanism is still an attractive challenge. Image data field, inspired from short-range nuclear force in physics, is introduced into sand painting stylization. With preserving edges and features, a fully automatic image filter pipeline based on image field coupling is proposed, which consists of three main steps, including image data field generating, multiscale field coupling, and additional details optimizing. The visual comparisons indicate that the proposed pipeline and image filter are feasible and effective, and sand painting-like artistic images can be produced by using multiscale field coupling. The qualities of various rendering images are also investigated from the perspective of feature similarity measures. The quantitative and qualitative results suggest that the field coupling-based filter is appropriate for sand painting stylization, and the time cost is satisfied for practice applications. Generally, the proposed method provides a reference for automatic creation of computer-aided sand painting art.

Application Model Construction of Traditional Cultural Elements in Illustration Design under Artificial Intelligence Background

“…Peng et al [10] used hand-painting, images, and three-dimensional effects to create an elegant and long rhythm of virtual light, leaving viewers with a colorful imagination space [10]. Wu et al [11] used spray paint or volatile pigments as tools to create graffiti on abandoned walls, car bodies, bridge opening, passages, and telephone poles [11].…”

NPRportrait 1.0: A three-level benchmark for non-photorealistic rendering of portraits

“…To date, these benchmark datasets have been used in a variety of ways: to include some stylisation results from examples taken from the benchmark [4,[13][14][15][16]; to systematically test the performance of stylisation algorithms [17][18][19]; to provide appropriate test data as part of the optimisation of preset parameters for post-processing filters in BeCasso, an interactive mobile iOS app for image stylisation [20]; and to provide a competitive and common set of test images for a research course on image processing for mobile applications [21].…”
