Abstract：Most of the existing Chinese paintings research focuses on the content rather than the artistic style. Since the essence of Chinese paintings is represented by brushwork and ink, different artists can be normally identified by the style of their brushwork. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to classify Chinese paintings based on brushwork and ink. The line shape feature and the ink color distribution feature are described. Combining these two features, a complex character is established. And the complex character is used as the input of the support vector machines classifier. Extensive experiments show that the average recall and precision of the proposed algorithm are higher than those of the representative existing benchmarks, including MHMM, C4.5 and Fusion. The proposed algorithm can be used for the digital analysis, management, understanding and identification of Chinese paintings. Moreover, it provides an effective digital tool for the inheritance and appreciation of Chinese painting.
