Abstract

This paper presents a method for measuring the similarity in style between two pieces of vector art, independent of content. Similarity is measured by the differences between four types of features: color, shading, texture, and stroke. Feature weightings are learned from crowdsourced experiments. This perceptual similarity enables style-based search. Using this style-based search feature, we demonstrate an application that allows users to create stylistically-coherent clip art mash-ups.
