Stroke-based rendering aims to recreate an image with a set of strokes. Most existing methods render complex images using an uniform-block-dividing strategy, which leads to boundary inconsistency artifacts. To solve the problem, we propose…
Stroke-based rendering aims to reconstruct an input image into an oil painting style by predicting brush stroke sequences. Conventional methods perform this prediction stroke-by-stroke or require multiple inference steps due to the…
Neural painting refers to the procedure of producing a series of strokes for a given image and non-photo-realistically recreating it using neural networks. While reinforcement learning (RL) based agents can generate a stroke sequence step…
