Computational Approaches to Comics Analysis

Abstract: Comics are complex documents whose reception engages cognitive processes such as scene perception, language processing, and narrative understanding. Possibly because of their complexity, they have rarely been studied in cognitive science. Modeling the stimulus ideally requires a formal description, which can be provided by feature descriptors from computer vision and computational linguistics. With a focus on document analysis, here we review work on the computational modeling of comics. We argue that the deve… Show more

“…While these efforts show the growing effectiveness of machine learning for recognizing targeted aspects of visual narratives, such methods often underperform both human testers and computational methods trained on naturalistic photographs (Khetarpal & Jain, ; Takayama, Johan, & Nishita, ). However, significant advances are being made with such computational methods, which are rapidly becoming more reliable (see Laubrock & Dunst, ).…”

“…Recent efforts using computational methods have also begun analyzing visual narrative sequencing (see Laubrock & Dunst, ). Some marginal results have been found by convolutional neural networks in recognizing sequencing structure in four‐panel comic strips (Ueno & Isahara, ; Ueno, Mori, Suenaga, & Isahara, ).…”

“…• Line-level, word-level, and character-level segmentation: Segmentation divides the entire image into subimages to process them further. The most popular techniques used for image segmentation are: X-Y-tree decomposition [96], connected component labeling [111], Hough transforms [96], and histogram projection techniques [66], [34].…”

“…The YOLO algorithm performs far better than any other algorithm, as its training and classification time is very less for real-time object detection and reaction. CNN YOLO is also used for object recognition and feature extraction in complex documents such as comics [111]. • BERT: Few studies [83], [13] reported the use of BERT for extracting features from the data.…”

“…At present, a number of research groups are working to push the limits of what computer vision can do with comics (cf. Laubrock and Dubray 2019;Laubrock and Dunst 2019;Young-Min 2019). Any such research is, of course, heavily dependent on the availability of appropriate training sets.…”
