BELLS LETTERS ADAPTATION: FROM NOVEL TO COMICS

From Letters to Pixels

Specifying regions of interest to search 3D anatomical space can be di cult. Ontology-based queries are often imprecise and return extra (unwanted) data. Drawing regions of interest in graphical 3D representations of a model organism in principle allows for high precision, but user interfaces can be awkward to use and time consuming. In this poster we promote the use of spatial descriptions as ...

Comics-Like Motion Depiction from Stereo

In this paper, we present an algorithm to depict motion in comics-like form, with an artistic drawn-like representation of the scene, from a stereo image sequence. The input to the algorithm is a natural scene, along with a user-defined set of parameters that define the tone and stylistic properties of the image to be produced. The algorithm uses a dense disparity map, computed from the input s...

Novel Designer Plastic Trumpet Bells for Brass Instruments

It is proposed that by using computing analysis software and 3D fabrication techniques, low cost plastic trumpet bells could be produced for different music genres by altering their timbres. These may be attached to the trumpet in a similar manner to that of a tuning bell trumpet. The novel bells are designed to eliminate or enhance particular harmonics to change their brightness by altering th...

Cinema comics: Cartoon generation from video stream

This paper presents CORVIS(COmics Rendering system on VIdeo Stream) which helps to create comic strips from video streams in semi-automated manner. For this, first we manually select a set of important featuring scenes in a cinema and transform them into simplified illustrations by Mean-Shift segmentation. Then we insert the stylized comic effects to each illustration by considering the before/...
