Development of digital technology to eliminate the unnaturalness of fanning two-dimensional photographs and paintings

(application to ukiyo-e)

Abstract

The Japanese traditional fan, which is a form of origami originating in Japan with a folding culture, has a variety of three-dimensional expression that differs from two-dimensional expression. The image painted on the fan deforms when the fan is folded. In this study, we apply the digital fan model to tow-dimensional photographs and paintings to clarify that the surface image becomes unnatural if the two-dimensional image is folded and fixed to the bones and that the expected surface image can be obtained by processing a two-dimensional image in anticipation of the final shape of the folding fan.
