Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a method of stroke‐based rendering is proposed for image representation and reconstruction. The proposed method involves compositing a set of ellipses that greatly vary in location, size, rotation angle, color, and opacity. This study proves that alpha compositing is differentiable if a two‐dimensional Gaussian function is used to draw a solid ellipse. The gradient method can then be employed for automatically identifying the parameters of each ellipse such that the difference between the input image and the composited image is minimized. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can represent various types of images including portraits, landscapes, buildings, street scenes, artificial objects, medical images etc. The proposed method can particularly render the most details and significant features of an input image with fewer strokes compared to other stroke‐based rendering algorithms. This study also demonstrates that the proposed method can be applied in painting style simulation and sparse‐view computed tomography imaging.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
