Abstract

Moment functions have recently been used to compute stroke parameters for painterly rendering applications. The technique is based on the estimation of geometric features of the intensity distribution in small windowed images, to obtain the brush width, color and direction. The newly developed method proposes an improvement, by additionally extracting the connected components so that the adjacent regions of similar color are grouped for generating a larger and noticeable brush stroke image.
