Qu  \nDepartment of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of HongKong, HongKong  \nM.A. Schnabel  \nDepartment of Architecture, The Chinese University of HongKong, HongKong  \nABSTRACT: Manga is a type of stylised bitonal drawings pleasing in terms of screen variety and tidy lines. In this paper, we present a method to draw architecture, spatial compositions and their details, including colours, textures, and tones, using manga drawing techniques. Given a colour image, such as photography, or drawing, our method finds the optimal solution for screening during the bi-tonal transformation, as well as a set of ideally abstracted line drawings. This offers a novel rendering appearance for the communication of architectural design. In our results we demonstrate successfully that our method generates manga-like drawings from an architectural image that preserve architectural key-elements, such as surface or material properties.  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \nDigital techniques introduced in the past decades have led a cultural shift in architectural design and its communication; new art forms and techniques influence the expression of architects’ thoughts and ideas. However, continuing emphasis remains that hand-drawn sketches allow for a deeper understanding of design, which computer generated visualisations do not offer. Inevitably media play influential roles in the expression and communication of design. Subsequently the act of sketching allows for its own experience and interpretation of spatial arrangements (Goldschmidt 1991) . Yet digitally aided sketching merges both realms into a novel expression of architectural communication, which we present in this paper.  \nManga, a popular Japanese comic art form and medium of entertainment, is increasingly becoming known around the world. The graphical quality is unique in its elegant use of rich set of screens, and tidy and fine drawing styles. This novel way of visual communication of manga provides another realm for representing architectural drawings or photography, being real or virtual. Although the manga drawings depends on pure black and white (b/w) patterns and lines, or is bi-tonal represented, it is still possible to perceive the variety of textures or materials of the surfaces of buildings. During the screening process manga artists lay multifarious screens to express different semantics. Here the ‘screening’ refers to the process of laying pre-printed b/w patterns over a certain area of the image. Screens are selected not solely according to the shading, or tone, but also ac-  \ncording to texture, material property, chromaticity or even function of the underlying architecture that is being depicted and expressed.  \nFigure 1. Generation of manga background from a real photograph (a) . Commercial software (b) adopts halftone technique and present uniform screening result. Our results (c) & (d) preserves colour distinguishability, texture similarity, and tone.  \nSuch a screening process is a very labour intensive undertaking. Once an architectural design is rich in details and elaborated in a high level, the process of creating a manga becomes even more complex. Speeding up the production some artists already employ computer techniques to convert images to manga backgrounds, using techniques such as ‘half-toning’ or ‘hatching’ (Figure 1a & 1b) . However, these digital methods produce only monotonous patterns and unsatisfactory results that are not in line with the rich expression of manga graphics and depicted architecture.  \nIn this paper, we introduce a novel application that provides the user with an automatic screening tool, which is useful in architectural representation. Given an arbitrary colour image of an architectural arrangement, our novel computational method can instantly transfer the input into a bi-tonal multiscreening manga representation.  \nOur technique can deal with an arbitrarily complex image or colour ","cbCaicPUVcqLzXmK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicPUVcqLzXmK","pdf",13850406,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Architectural Sketch\n# Related Work","[{\"question\":\"What is the core goal of the proposed method?\",\"answer\":\"To automatically convert an input colour architectural image into a bi-tonal multiscreening manga representation for communication of architectural design.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the method preserve visual qualities of the original image?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to preserve chromaticity distinguishability, texture similarity, and tone similarity by matching tone density and using a colour-to-pattern mapping.\"},{\"question\":\"What technique is used for the colour-to-pattern mapping?\",\"answer\":\"The method uses Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) to map a high-dimensional texture feature space of patterns to a two-dimensional chromaticity space.\"}]","Drawing Architecture using Manga Techniques | PDF",25]
