Movie2Comics: Towards a Lively Video Content Presentation

Abstract

As a type of artwork, comics is prevalent and popular around the world. However, despite the availability of assistive software and tools, the creation of comics is still a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. This paper proposes a scheme that is able to automatically turn a movie clip to comics. Two principles are followed in the scheme: 1) optimizing the information preservation of the movie; and 2) generating outputs following the rules and the styles of comics. The scheme mainly contains three components: script-face mapping, descriptive picture extraction, and cartoonization. The script-face mapping utilizes face tracking and recognition techniques to accomplish the mapping between characters' faces and their scripts. The descriptive picture extraction then generates a sequence of frames for presentation. Finally, the cartoonization is accomplished via three steps: panel scaling, stylization, and comics layout design. Experiments are conducted on a set of movie clips and the results have demonstrated the usefulness and the effectiveness of the scheme.

Design of Intelligent Comic Make System for Educational Application Based on Comic Script Creation

“…The analysis dialog is first person, second person and third And then determine whether each of the analysis accuracy training can be accepted, if it is acceptable to the system automatically match the "Design Element Resource Database", the relevant comic modeling elements, and modeling integration Corresponding to the comic style, if not accepted, the system continues to find the relevant comic script information, and analyze the relevant attributes and analysis of the information list (Figure 7). The author designs the comic script creation system based on comic script creation, and provides the comic writer input script text, let the system compare the script information in the comic system database and find out the similarity drama, scene, Dialogue (Wang et al, 2012), and so on, and then one by one than the script of the role of dialogue is the first person or second person or third person, and finally the results of the information will be passed to the design elements of the integration of the library comic picture.…”

“…Complete the steps of a comic book, as shown in Figure 1. First, the author conceived the story structure and the scene, to meet all the role style, and then the story in order to develop, the use of split screen way to design all the characters of action and dialogue (Ichino et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2012;Jamaludin, 2011;Tsai et al, 2016;Tsai, 2016;Tobita, 2010). Readers from the comic works to understand the author to express the idea, but the lengthy training process so that many creative learners quit, resulting in the loss of many potential talents.…”

“…Figure 3 shown a CDRIM architecture (Tsai, 2016) provides designers to share their own creative and design resources, or uses other design resources shared by other designers to join their designs to form new design works (Sanders & Stappers, 2008). And the new design works are also shared to the design resources (Goldner & Birch, 2012), to stimulate the creative ideas of many designers groups (Wang et al, 2012). CDRIM helps designers create design work and share design resources (Kangas, 2010), with the goal of reducing design costs and increasing creative design speed.…”

Image classification using boosted local features with random orientation and location selection

“…This hard assignment strategy causes information loss which hinders final classification performance. Gemert [39][40][41]43] was also adopted to alleviate the deficiency between visual features and seman-121 tic meanings. 122 Using randomness for image classification is also very popular.…”

Image aesthetics enhancement using composition-based saliency detection

“…the region attracting people's attention at the first sight, has wide applications in image processing and computer vision [1,17,18,43]. In recent years, several saliency detection methods have been proposed, such as in [2,6,16].…”
