Short summary

A new algorithm learns to automatically generate pen-and-ink hatching illustrations in a specific artist's style by analyzing a single example drawing.

Key points

  • Algorithm analyzes per-pixel hatching properties (level, orientation, spacing, intensity, length, thickness) from an artist's drawing.
  • Learns a mapping from 3D object features (geometric, contextual, shading) to hatching properties.
  • Enables automatic generation of new illustrations in the artist's learned style for novel views.
  • Uses classification, regression, and clustering techniques for style learning.

Abstract

This article presents an algorithm for learning hatching styles from line drawings. An artist draws a single hatching illustration of a 3D object. Her strokes are analyzed to extract the following per-pixel properties: hatching level (hatching, cross-hatching, or no strokes), stroke orientation, spacing, intensity, length, and thickness. A mapping is learned from input geometric, contextual, and shading features of the 3D object to these hatching properties, using classification, regression, and clustering techniques. Then, a new illustration can be generated in the artist's style, as follows. First, given a new view of a 3D object, the learned mapping is applied to synthesize target stroke properties for each pixel. A new illustration is then generated by synthesizing hatching strokes according to the target properties.
