Pixel-Based Impressionistic Stylization

In this paper, we propose a novel pixel-based stylization technique that analyzes and transfers impressionistic styles. A pixel-based stylization technique has tended to focus on only a single term (color or texture), so that it is not easy for them to express complex styles, such as impressionist paintings. In this paper, we propose a novel pixel-based stylization technique that analyze and transfer impressionistic styles. We analyze regions of a source image with respect to three characteristics – color pattern, texture, and flow pattern – and then transfer each region's impressionistic style to a target image based on saliency similarities.
