    En este artículo se presenta una herramienta que, a partir de dos fotografías, es capaz de reconstruir la profundidad de los objetos y obtener un modelo 2D y medio.

    Utilizando dicha información el sistema es capaz de diferenciar qué es fondo y qué un elemento de interés y puntearlos de forma distinta para generar la ilustración final.

    La herramienta necesita una mínima interacción por parte del usuario para alinear ambas fotografías e indicarle el nivel de detalle a partir de cierta lejanía. El resto es decidido por el software que se encarga de generar la ilustración. Dicha ilustración es generada en pocos segundos por el sistema, mientras que un ilustrador profesional puede tardar aproximadamente 20 horas para realizar el mismo tipo de ilustración.

    In this paper we present a software tool that is able to reconstruct the depth field of the objects from two photographs and to obtain a pseudo 3D model. Using this information our system is able to difference background from foreground, and therefore, what are the interesting elements in the photographs and stipple them in different ways.

    This tool needs almost no user interaction. The user simply has to align both photographs and indicate the level of detail according to the distance. The rest is decided by our software. Whereas a professional illustrator needs more than 20 hours to finish a similar illustration, our software is able to do it in just few seconds.
