Generation of line-pattern image by joint singular value decomposition and unsharp mask

This paper proposes a visual effect method for generating a line-pattern image from a photographic image. The proposed method is executed by an iterative calculation using joint singular value decomposition and unsharp mask. The feature of the proposed method is that the line-pattern images with various line patterns can be automatically generated by varying the singular number of joint singular value decomposition and the shape of window of unsharp mask. To verify the visual effects of the line-pattern image, experiments with varying parameters of the proposed method are conducted. Also, experiments using various photographic images are conducted.
