Abstract
A non-photorealistic rendering method has been proposed to generate cell-like images in which cell-like patterns are represented in photographic images. Cell-like patterns are automatically generated by the change of density of photographic images. However, cell-like patterns are irregularly arranged. In this paper, we propose a method to arrange cell-like patterns along the edges of photographic images. In addition, our method can express cell membrane and cell nucleus in cell-like patterns more clearly than the conventional method. We improves the conventional method by using Euclidean distance from the edges. We show that appealing cell-like images can be generated by our method through experiments using various photographic images.
