Generating Indian-Ink Drawing-like Images Using Inverse Bilateral Filter

Abstract

We introduce a non-photorealistic rendering technique for generating indian-ink drawing-like images from photographs. Indian-ink drawing-like images have a touch different from the traditional chinese-ink painting. In this letter, indian-ink drawing-like images are generated with inverse bilateral filter and an idea of unsharp mask. In order to evaluate the performance of our method for generating indian-ink drawing-like images, we conduct experiments using some example images.
