Abstract:
A method of creating watercolor images from a source image may include some or all of: scaling down and lightening the source image; converting the lightened image to a single channel grayscale image; blending a noise pattern with the lightened image to add random jitter; overlaying an edge detection map to produce an edge buffered control image; determining a main set of colors in the source image: determining boundaries for each region where the main set of colors appear; coloring in multiple passes using one color at a time, with a diffusion of water technique emulating wet-on-wet watercoloring; coloring each of the main set of colors, by coloring from a light to dark order; enhancing the edges of the regions to model the areas where a watercolor artist would maintain separation; and compositing to add sedimentation texture; flocculation texture; a drawing layer; and a paper texture pattern.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer implemented method of simulating an artist's redrawing technique for creating a simulated watercolor image from a source image, said method comprising:\n inputting the source image into a computer system; adjusting one or more luminance values for lightening of the inputted image for producing an adjusted image; converting the adjusted image to a modified image; using an edge detection map to produce a control image; determining a set of colors used in the source image; determining a color region where each of the colors of the set of colors appear, and storing color values and color regions; coloring in multiple passes, in a diffusion of water technique emulating wet-on-wet watercoloring; coloring each of the color values with a darkening only color diffusion, by coloring in a light to dark order; adding jitter during said coloring using a noise pattern; and using the control image for said coloring in each of said multiple passes to control a diffusion geometry for each of the color regions.
