Human Emotional Care Purposed Automatic Remote Portrait Drawing Generation and Display System Using Wearable Heart Rate Sensor and Smartphone Camera with Depth Perception

摘要

We propose a system that automatically generates portrait drawings for the purpose of human emotional care. Our system comprises two parts a smartphone application and a server. The smartphone application enables the user to take photographs throughout the day while acquiring heart rates from the smartwatch worn by the user. The server collects the photographs and heart rates and displays portrait drawings automatically stylized from the photograph for the most exciting moment of the day. In the system, the user can recall the exciting and happy moment of the day through admiring the drawings and heal the emotion accordingly. To stylize photographs as portrait drawings, we employ nonphotorealistic rendering (NPR) methods, including a portrait etude stylization proposed in this paper. Finally, the effectiveness of our system is demonstrated through user studies.
