abstract = {This paper presents a comprehensive scheme for automatically
generating a broad class of artistic illustrations from
photographs. Using strokes as the major building blocks, our
system optimizes the stroke attributes subject to the desired
rendering style. The stroke attributes are computed adaptively to
enable importance-based control of the abstraction level at each
pixel. We propose a novel outline detection and refinement
paradigm called edge painting to construct an outline map, and
from which to derive the pixel-wise importance. We also introduce
an adaptive bilateral filter to adaptively guide the curved stroke
directions based on the importance map. Given the outline,
importance, and direction maps, the system creates the
illustration via selecting the representative colors, setting the
style parameters, and optimizing the stroke attributes based on
simulated annealing. The experimental results show that our scheme
facilitates automatic production of artistic illustrations in a
wide range of rendering styles.},
