Abstract

This paper describes the various artistic effects of watercolor and shows how they can be simulated automatically.Our watercolor model is based on an ordered set of translucent glazes, which are created independently using a shallow-water fluid simulation.We use a Kubelka-Munk compositing model for simulating the optical effect of the superimposed glazes.We demonstrate how computergenerated watercolor can be used in three different applications: as part of an interactive watercolor paint system, as a method for automatic image "watercolorization," and as a mechanism for nonphotorealistic rendering of three-dimensional scenes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
