A Scores Based Rendering for Yunnan Out-of-Print Woodcut

Woodcut is a painting, in which knife and woodblock are used instead of pen and paper. Yunnan out-of-print woodcut is an extension of the traditional woodcut. In this paper, we introduce an automatic image-based approach with three steps. First, image is sliced out by color clustering. Then, scores collected from real woodcuts are placed automatically in segmenting regions. Finally, a virtual printing method combining all regions with their colors is proposed to synthesize multicolor woodcut. This method is simple and efficient, and the simulated result looks good.
