Created a unique robot that writes real paintings Bashny.Net

In the laboratory of computer graphics and media design Department of the University of Constance in Baden-württemberg (Germany) have created a unique robot that literally erases (or drawing?) the line between art and computer technology. The machine, called eDavid, can give odds to many artists, not just beginners.





The main components of eDavid (Drawing Apparatus for Vivid Image Display) is mechanized hand, it was borrowed from the standard... welding robot, software computer vision system and camera. The robot only "looking" at the original through the lens of a digital camera, creates a unique pattern in a variety of styles.

The device is trained to imitate the different techniques — for example, impressionism or pointillism. Yes, some works of electronic artist look like an ordinary picture subjected to processing in one or more filters in a graphics editor. But he has many paintings that could be confused with written by the hand of a master.





While for the most part eDavid image black and white. The creation of one work takes about nine hours, this can be explained by the formation of multiple layers for maximum detail. http://player.vimeo.com/video/68859229
