报告题目：Legible Compact Calligrams

主持人： 杨恒

报告摘要：A calligram is an arrangement of words or letters that creates a visual image. The beauty and elegance of calligrams is well appreciated in many languages. Visually expressing words or phrases while reflecting their meaning has a strong intellectual and artistic appeal. For a calligram formed by one or few words, conveying the input shape requires placing and deforming the individual letters to fit the shape outline and this directly impacts readability or legibility of the words. This consideration poses an inherent challenge. We will present an automatic method to generate legible calligrams that are competitive with those produced by professional artists.
