TBR: Transport-Based Rendering with Deposition Strokes for Inverse Graphics

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 8, 2026 · UTC

We present a stroke design in which strokes are transport-coupled: each stroke deposits material of its own area and moves every earlier mark without changing its area, so later strokes deform earlier ones. We then solve the inverse problem under this design: given a target image, we optimise an ordered program of such strokes whose replay approximates it, with digital marbling as the motivating medium. The stroke is a capsule that continuously joins circular drops to drawn deposits; its transport is exactly area-preserving, with a closed-form inverse outside the deposit, and a variant with th
