I started these slides with two examples of morphisms that compensate for the change of visual language from scene to pen-and-ink. Are there any other translate/compensate pairs?
One possibility is what, in the link on the previous slide, I called "inflating significant zones". That is, in images where a lot of detail has been lost, perhaps because of low resolution, emphasising those parts which are most necessary for recognition.
The image below illustrates
this.
The letter 'a' at the
top is in Helvetica, at high resolution.
The one below it has been automatically
pixelated to low resolution. And the
one on the right has been tweaked so as
to emphasise
those zones which are most important
for recognisability.
I've adapted this from the chapter "Analogies and Roles in Human and Machine Thinking" in Douglas Hofstadter's Metamagical Themas, in which he discusses how to render letters at lower and lower resolution while still retaining their style. See my "Drawing as Translation II" for his original and an explanation.
