4. Technical Presentation

Reza Adhitya Saputra	Title : Stylistic Ornamental Mosaic Project Abstract: Ornamental mosaic is the art of assembling small pieces of shapes to create a bigger representation. Ornamental mosaic can be found in many forms, for example, Haida art, decorative art, tribal tattoos, and the Mexican Day of the Dead. In this project, we focus on creating stylistic ornamental mosaic by packing deformable ornaments that follow orientation flows. Since aesthetics are important, we also want to generate artworks that have focal/semantic ornaments, for example a circular ornament depicts an eye of a bird, or triangular ornament that represent the horns of a rhinoceros. In the first step or our pipeline, we use vector fields to generate streamlines. Using level set methods, these streamlines are used to generate subregion blobs. These blobs are then replaced with deformable ornaments taken from a library. Our approach is designed to take user inputs as well. An artist can draw directional scribbles to control the vector fields and create initial streamlines manually. To depict focal ornaments, the artist can also manually lay out customized ornaments at certain positions. Based on the results we have, our approach can generate mosaic artworks with various themes such as tree leaves, abstract ornaments, and also tribal tattoos.
