Abstract
In this paper, we consider rendering color videos using a non-photo-realistic art form technique commonly called stippling. Stippling is the art of rendering images using point sets, possibly with various attributes like sizes, elementary shapes, and colors. Producing nice stippling is attractive not only for the sake of image depiction but also because it yields a compact vectorial format for storing the semantic information of media. In order to create stippled videos, our method improves over the naive scheme by considering dynamic point creation and deletion according to the current scene semantic complexity. Furthermore, we explain how to produce high quality stippled “videos” (eg., fully dynamic spatio-temporal point sets) for media containing various fading effects. We report on practical performances of our implementation, and present several stippled video results rendered on-the-fly using our viewer that allows both spatio-temporal dynamic rescaling (eg., upscale vectorially frame rate).
