Abstract:
This paper presents a new non-photorealistic/stroke-based
rendering (NPR/SBR) framework for the stylization of videos
featuring head shots of people, such as home videos, movies,
and camera mobile phone clips. Spatiotemporal skin and
edge detection are used to locate and emphasize the semantic
content in the stylization process. The SBR portion of the
algorithm features novel techniques for motion expression with
elliptical brush strokes, brush stroke anchor point distribution,
spatio-temporal color-sampling, and brush stroke animation
with regard to state-of-the-art issues such as object occlusion
and uncovering in the source video. A wide user-accessible
parameter space and finishing touches such as cartoon-like
edge decoration and other quirky effects empowers a variety of
artistic outputs. The resulting stylized sequences are fun and
interesting with regard to compression, summarization, motion
visualization, story-boarding and art. Both the semantic
content, and underlying video motion is highlighted and
summarized on every frame of the stylized output sequence.
