Abstract

Same as rich colours in a painting that deliver the artist's thoughts and ideas, the variety of textures and patterns in sketches gives drawings different significance. Using rich sets of texture screens to represent chromatic images, the visual perception can be preserved by using the texture pattern verities. In our work, we present a harmonic representation from chromatic space to textural space, to generate architectural sketches and their details, including colours, textures, and tones. We present a rendering appearance for the communication of architectural design akin to Japanese cartoon depictions. In our results we demonstrate successfully that our method generates sketches from architectural images that preserve architectural key-elements, such as surface or material properties and simulate a chromatic correct perception. This allows for novel depiction and story telling in architecture.
