Graphite implements a novel flow-aligned rendering approach that is based on the analysis of local image-feature directions. A stroke-based image stylization pipeline is parameterized to compute realistic directional hatching and contouring effects in real-time. Its art-direction enables users to selectively and locally fine-tune visual variables—such as the level of detail, stroke granularity, and sketchiness—using the Apple Pencil or touch gestures. In this respect, the looks of manifold artistic media can be simulated, including pencil, pen-and-ink, pastel, and blueprint illustrations. Graphite is based on Apple’s CoreML and Metal APIs for optimized on-device processing. Thus, interactive editing can be performed in real-time by utilizing the dedicated Neural Engine and GPU.","PeriodicalId":254445,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2020 Appy Hour","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116648017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
