Abstract:
The nonphotorealistic rendering is recognized as one of the major topics in the recent computer graphics society. The general issue in this research area is achieving methods for imitating the artists’ rendering styles, such as oil-paintings, technical illustration, etc. The painterly rendering is one of the nonphotorealstic rendering methods dealing with the effects as the oil-paintings. It is usually achieved by painting many brush stroke textures on the canvas image. The image moment-based painterly rendering algorithm controls each stroke to fit the local source image. In this paper, we propose the method which incorporates the depth information into the image moment-based painterly rendering algorithm. The original algorithm uses some constant parameters. By changing these parameters according to the depth information, more satisfactory results can be obtained.
