Abstract

The Science of Imagination Laboratory Imagination Engine (SOILIE) is a program designed to imagine 2D scenes the same way people do. It is composed of three modules: The Oracle of Objects, Visuo, and a renderer. In the process of creating a novel image, SOILIE creates image content, places objects within said image and renders the final product. Although work remains to be done, the engine is capable of rendering images with coherent content and placement.
