Metro Re-illustrated: Incremental Generation of Stylized Paintings Using Neural Networks
Bo Shui, Chufan Shi, Xiaomei Nie · 2023
Metro Re-illustrated is a project that explores incremental generation of stylized paintings of city metro maps using neural networks. It begins with an interactive system for labeling time-series data on city metro maps and generating reference images. These images are fed into a neural painter that incrementally generates oil painting-like strokes on virtual canvases. The generated paintings demonstrate blending and layering features of oil paintings while capturing the progressive nature of urban development.
