The Painting Camera: Abstract Rendering with Camera-Control-Images
Ergün Akleman, Scott Harrison Meadows · 2000
In this paper, we present a simple and intuitive rendering technique to create abstract paintings. This technique allows the users to ren-der a given animated scene with multiple cameras, using a method inspired by concepts used by cubist and futurist abstract painters. In our method, the number of cameras is unlimited and the camera parameters are continuous functions. We define the camera parame-ters as parametric functions that are described by images, which we call camera-control-images. The spatial distribution color in these camera-control-images determines the camera parameters such as position and orientation.
