Wrong Colored Vermeer: Color-Symmetric Image Distortion

Abstract

Color symmetry implies that the colors of geometrical objects are assigned according to their symmetry properties. It is defined by associating the elements of the symmetry group with a color permutation. I use this concept for generative art and apply symmetry-consistent color distortions to images of paintings by Johannes Vermeer. The color permutations are realized as mappings of the HSV color space onto itself.
