Recently, the demand for the digitization of manga is increased. Then, in the case of an old manga where the original pictures have been lost, we have to digitize it from comics. However, the showthrough phenomenon would be caused by scanning of the comics since it is represented as the double sided images. This letter proposes the manga show-through cancellation method based on the deep convolutional neural network (CNN). Numerical results show that the effectiveness of the proposed method. key words: manga, image show-through cancellation, deep convolutional neural network, residual learning, batch normalization
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
