Interested in computer-generated art? This paper presents deviation mapping. This novel technique generates images with artistic appearances, such as spray-painted walls and embossments. The technique uses a deviation map constructed from a single background image. Instead of recovering the exact geometry, the deviation map is treated as a virtual surface. This surface is painted with a foreground image and illuminated. This synthesis creates the final artistic result. This method is very fast and simple to implement. It is expected to find applications in image processing and computer graphics. It contributes to developing efficient and accessible tools for generating artistic images. Its unique approach to image synthesis could inspire new forms of digital art.
This paper on artistic image generation through deviation mapping aligns with International Journal of Image and Graphics' focus on computer graphics and image processing techniques. The simplicity and speed of the method, combined with its ability to create artistic effects, contribute to the journal's themes.
