Artistic Rendering of Human Portraits Paying Attention to Facial Features

  • Conference paper
Arts and Technology (ArtsIT 2011)

Abstract

Artistic painting of human portraits are more challenging than landscapes or flowers. Challenges are eye and nose areas where we need to avoid alterations from their natural appearance. Shades or darkness around eyes, or shininess at the nose tip may negatively impact the rendering result if not properly dealt with. The proposed computerized method attempts to be adaptive to those sensitive areas by utilizing a face analysis module. First, the program detects meaningful face segments, and then it utilizes a blending of various filtering parameters to make the final portrait as clear as possible while still supporting an ‘artistic painting’ in overall.
