Video Processing SoC for Low-Latency Real-Time Interactive Real-Brush Painting System

Abstract

To reduce the learning curve and enhance expressiveness, Human Computer Interfaces continuously improve to mimic object interaction in the real environment. A novel digital painting system has been developed that provides the artist with the expressiveness of virtual painting by using real and wet brushes. The kernel of the system is an interactive canvas powered by an SoC-based real-time video processing of the detailed wet brush-canvas contact image. To enable realistic and fast painting interaction, low latency video processing from smart-camera up to painting rendering is key. This paper presents the real-time video processing SoC system.
