| art description | This is a multi-flash camera that can automatically generate stylized
images and videos. Strategically positioned flashes cast shadows
along silhouettes in the scene. The detected silhouettes are rendered
in cartoon style or as technical illustrations. This overcomes
the need for per-frame photo editing or 3D scanning of environments.

| art placard | Photorealism is pass\'{e}. An artist creates a rendering that
is {\it not-a-photo}. What
about a camera that produces {\it not-a-photo}? A
camera with strategically positioned flashes cast shadows along silhouettes
in the scene. The multi-flash camera captures the shape boundaries
to depict just the important lines and edges, so the observer
can
use the perceptual cues to fill in the rest of the image. |
