  1. Image Synthesis NPR – Non-photorealistic rendering

  2. NP vs. NPR?

  3. PR vs. NPR

  4. Why NPR?

  5. Reasons against photorealism? • Too much (unnecessary) information maps, technical/medical illustrations • Constraints Creativity improper for caricatures, comics, art • Time consuming image generation (probably) not feasible for real-time applications • No room for the fantasy of the viewer „Photorealism, like pornography, leaves nothing to the imagination“- Cassidy Curtis

  16. Algorithms

  17. Toon Shading Toon/Cell Shading: Rendering technique to create cartoon like movies

  18. Toon Shading Motivation: Simpel and (semi-) automatic (mass-) production of comics • large homogenous regions • very few colors • enhanced silhouettes • simple geometry • reduction to important elements

  19. Toon Shading Color computation (object space): surface 1D texture

  20. Toon Shading Silhouettes (Screen Space) • generate Depth map • find discontinuities • generate normal map • find discontinuities

  21. Toon Shading Combination of both silhouette detections ideas: Technical Illustrations:

  22. Sketching Sketching: Automatic method to create computer images that look like and hand-made drawings

  23. Computer Sketching Motivation: • Ideal to present concepts (architecture) • Precise Depiction often looks very sterile Methods: • Use special output device • Image space post-processing • Object space 3D model modification

  24. Computer Sketching Example: Object space approach: • Pseudo-Randomly change length of lines • Cut lines into multiple sub-lines • Move line center

  25. Halftoning Halftoning: Reproduce (color/grayscale) images with a (very) limited amount of colors, usually only black/white “Historically”, a necessity to print images in newspapers

  26. Halftoning Algorithm: • Input: Gray scale image • Group pixles ( loss of image resolution) • Compute average intensity • Replace group by dither matrix

  27. Halftoning limited resolution of the human visual system

  28. Error Diffusion Floyd and Steinberg

  29. Screening • Bild Screening: Artisticvariationofthe halftoning algorithm Replacesthe simple dithermatrixbyoneoremorecompleximages

  30. Screening Screening with text

  31. Stippling Stippling: Construct an imageof a large numberofdots

  32. Pointillismus Georges Seurat - Ein Sonntagnachmittag auf der Insel La Grande Jatte

  33. Stippling • Motivation: • Results in very “clean/cold” illustrations • Very time-consuming to create manually • Applications: • Scientific and technical illustrations • Art • Print media

  34. Stippling • Stipple points simulate both tone and texture. • Usually a uniform distribution without any recognizable pattern is used

  35. Stippling Object space: • prioritized line textures

  36. Stippling • Other prioritized line textures

  37. Stippling

  38. Object / Image Space Stippling

  39. Object / Image Space Stippling Supersampling in screen space surface based anti-aliasing black-and-white stippling
