For example, the Figure 1 shows the NASA satellite image of the Pyramid and Figure 2 shows one of the Monet s oil paintings. Figure 3 shows that the satellite image is painted with Monet s color scheme. The system detects the structural saliency based on color distributions, intensity energy and relations and creates a vector expression of the structure. Given the computer a 'raw' image, it will search the database and find the fittest masterpiece structures and trim the raw image to the compositions that are similar to the ones in the database. The project is ongoing.
Current focus is on building demos of the art visual learning process.
In addition the potential applications such as, data visualization and art robotics will be explored. Mei Wang, graduate student of CMU, assisted the programming.
