Curve Structure Extraction for Cartoon Images
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a novel method for curve structure extraction of cartoon images. Our method handles two types of cartoon curves, decorative curves and boundary curves, in a uniform way. The method consists of two steps. First, we calculate curve points by applying non-maximal suppress on secondary derivative of cartoon images. Second, these curve points are linked together to form structure curves while unreliable curves are removed away. Compared to curve structure extraction algorithm proposed by Steger, the number of curves generated by our algorithm is only 19% of Steger’s on average, with better curve quality. Furthermore, more accurate curve position can be obtained by our method.

Cartoon Animation and Morphing with Wavelet Curve Descriptor
A new framework for cartoon animation is proposed in this work. By using the wavelet coefficients as the control points, one can manipulate curves so that shape metamorphosis occurs along resolutions as well as spatial locations. We model the motion of a cartoon character with the Lagrangian dynamic equation where the multiscale curve is driven by relevant forces. The spatial and frequency loca...
متن کاملPETAL: A parallel processor for real -time primitive extraction
A real -time parallel processor named PETAL is described which has been developed to extract cartoon primitives from grey -level television images. It is based on a cascaded look -up table architecture and is controlled by a 68000 microcomputer. It can process 256x256 images at 50 frames /s.
متن کاملGenerating Discriminating Cartoon Faces Using Interacting Snakes
As a computational bridge between the high-level a priori knowledge of object shape and the low-level image data, active contours (or snakes) are useful models for the extraction of deformable objects. We propose an approach for manipulating multiple snakes iteratively, called interacting snakes, that minimizes the attraction energy functionals on both contours and enclosed regions of individua...
متن کاملClustered Sparsity and Separation of Cartoon and Texture
Natural images are typically a composition of cartoon and texture structures. One common task is to separate such an image into two single images, one containing the cartoon part and the other containing the texture part. Recently, a powerful class of algorithms using sparse approximation and l1 minimization has been introduced to resolve this problem, and numerous inspiring empirical results h...
متن کاملA Cartoon Image Classification System Using MPEG-7 Descriptors
Today cartoon images take more portion of digital multimedia than ever as we notice this phenomenon in the entertainment business. With the explosive proliferation of cartoon image contents on the Internet, we seem to need a classification system to categorize these cartoon images. This paper presents a new approach of cartoon image classification based on cartoonists. The proposed cartoon imag...
