In this paper, we present a novel method for creating a painted image from a photograph using an existing painting as a style source. The core idea is to identify the corresponding objects in the two images in order to select patches more appropriately. We automatically make a region correspondence between the painted source image and the target photograph by computing color and texture feature distances. Next, we conduct a patch-based synthesis that preserves the appropriate source and target features. Unlike previous example-based approaches of painting style transfer, our results successfully reflect the features of the source images even if the input images have various colors and textures. Our method allows us to automatically render a new painted image preserving the features of the source image.
