ABSTRACT:
Method is disclosed for the automatic creation of images in a “van Gogh” style. The method comprises locating portions of detail in an image an utilising the areas of detail to propagate brush strokes into areas of the image having lesser details. A number of modifications are also proposed including utilising refining brush strokes to process those areas of detail in an image.
