Abstract:
Visual displays such as art and illustration benefit from concise presentation of information. We present several approaches for simplifying photographs to create such
concise, artistically abstracted images. The difficulty of abstraction lies in selecting
what is important. These approaches apply models of human vision, models of image
structure, and new methods of interaction to select important content. Important locations are identified from eye movement recordings. Using a perceptual model, features
are then preserved where the viewer looked, and removed elsewhere. Several visual
styles using this method are presented. The perceptual motivation for these techniques
makes predictions about how they should effect viewers. In this context, we validate
our approach using experiments that measure eye movements over these images. Results also provide some interesting insights into artistic abstraction and human visual
perception.
