“…The first step in creating a comic is selecting the appropriate time points to 'freeze' in each panel. Shamir and colleagues [Shamir et al 2006] and Alves and colleagues [Alves et al 2008] provide algorithms to perform this selection based on text logs or scripts to summarize an interactive game play in comic book format. Katti and colleagues use gaze information, such as pupil dilation, to infer the portions of a video that are interesting to the viewers to create a storyboard or a comic book summary of a video [Katti et al 2011].…”

Comics are a compelling, though complex, visual storytelling medium. Researchers are interested in the process of comic art creation to be able to automatically tell new stories, and also, summarize videos and catalog large collections of photographs for example. A primary organizing principle used by artists to lay out the components of comic art (panels, word bubbles, objects inside each panel) is to lead the viewer's attention along a deliberate visual route that reveals the narrative. If artists are successful in leading viewer attention, then their intended visual route would be accessible through recorded viewer attention, i.e., eyetracking data. In this paper, we conduct an experiment to verify if artists are successful in their goal of leading viewer gaze. We eyetrack viewers on images taken from comic books, as well as photographs taken by experts, amateur photographers and a robot. Our data analyses show that there is increased consistency in viewer gaze for comic pictures versus photographs taken by a robot and by amateur photographers, thus confirming that comic artists do indeed direct the flow of viewer attention.

“…Recent comic applications include summarization of activities in a conference [1], daily activities [2], video sequences [3], and game-play activities [4][5][6]. Comic-based experience summaries facilitate augmenting personal memories as well as promoting communication among user communities.…”

“…In our system, we adopted the same approach as in [4] where the game engine of a game of interest is used for rendering comic based on information in the game log. Another approach adopted in [6] is that of composing comic from selected screen shots.…”

Abstract. We propose a rule-based camerawork controller for a recently proposed a comic generation system. Five camerawork rules are derived through an analysis of online-game webcomics about Lineage 2, one rule for each of the five event types: chatting, fighting, moving, approaching, and special. Each rule consists of three parts relating to the three camera parameters: camera angle, camera position, and zoom position. Each camera-parameter part contains multiples shot types whose value indicates the frequency of their usages in the analyzed webcomics. In this paper, comic frames generated with the proposed camerawork controller are shown and compared with those generated with our previous controller based on heuristic rules, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed camerawork controller.

“…In addition, traditional comic techniques can be introduced to achieve expression of various situations. Comicstyle representation has been used for summary of conference participation [2], diary experiences [3], and video contents [4], as well as online-game events [5].…”

“…Our work in [1] was inspired by the work in [5] and adapted its scene partition method and event extraction method. However, comics generated in [5] can have series of similar frames when multiple actions occur near each other in both time and space.…”

Abstract. Recently, we have presented a comic generating system that visualizes an online-game play. Our system was inspired by a former work of Shamir et al. However, comics generated in their work can have series of similar frames when multiple actions occur near each other in both time and space. In this paper, we first present a frame-selection module that uses Habituated Self-Organizing Map. Our method prevents comic readers from boredom by getting rid of resemble consecutive frame candidates. We then evaluate the method by a subject experiment using a play from the ICE, an online-game developed in our laboratory. Experimental result confirms that our method is effective in making output comics more interesting than a baseline method.
