This tool decomposes an original picture into figure objects and the ground, and then recomposes the figure objects according to compositioninformation taken from a well designed picture, such as an art masterpiece. The figure extraction is performed by a figure extraction method that utilizes a characteristic of the V4 cortex in the human visual system.
