Non-photorealistic image processing: an Impressionist rendering

The paper describes an image processing for a non-photorealistic rendering. The algorithm is based on a random choice of a set of pixels from those ot the original image and substitution of them with colour spots. An iterative procedure is applied to cover, at a desired level, the canvas. The resulting effect mimics the impressionist painting and Pointillism.
