AI draws portraits in the form of a non-self-intersecting loop, or Jordan curve

A Jordan curve is a line that begins and ends at the same point in space: it

creates an image, but never intersects with itself. 

Robotics experts have begun to explorethe ability to automatically create such drawings. In collaboration with colleagues at TCS Robotics Research Lab, the researchers created Chitrakar, a system that can convert an image into a drawing consisting of a single long line. 

Our system uses state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to segment a human face from a photograph and combine this with image enhancement techniques.

The system can autonomously convert any image of a human face to a Jordan curve. Subsequently, this Jordan curve is transferred to a piece of paper: this is how a portrait is obtained.
