Based on our CAH:
1. segment the image by mean shift method.
2. Based on segmentation, assign different exclusion-based masks to each segmented regions.
3. Do CAH with exclusion assignment.
Total time: size 433*800, 55 seconds for segmentation and 15 seconds for CAH.
Next, I want to do something on the choice of the masks. Relate it to the content.
Hmm. For whatever reason, my earlier comment did not get posted.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed quite interesting. As you say, the thing to do is to somehow connect the parameter values and mask properties to the region properties. We might also use the multi-priority scheme and choose textures or geometric designs for different regions.
This looks like pure halftoning. Are you thinking of making a vector version? Another obvious direction is to go beyond stippling to work with linear primitives (strokes).
