Particle-flow interactive animation for painting image

In this paper, we present an interactive multimedia artwork, which awakens motionless images to interactive animations. This animation simulates the colour-flow movement from painting images. Particle movement and interaction present the rhythm of the brushstrokes. This artwork conveys lively image feelings. Human colour perception is the main idea of this work. We use image-processing techniques to extract colour distinction from painting images. After that, we render numerous particles from distinct colour areas information. Steering behaviour directs particle movement to flow smoothly on a touch-screen monitor. This artwork attracts audiences to admire painting in the new aspect that audiences play with it rather than just watching it. This works designed for arbitrary painting images, unlike previous work which ties to a particular image.
