In 3D character animation, the frame rate is often reduced to mimic hand-drawn animations, like anime (Japanese animation). However, anime with a low frame rate differs from real motions because it omits excessive movements and emphasizes speed by ...

Many 2D cel animations and 3DCG cel-style animations are still being actively produced in Japan. Cel animation has its own perspective, which is different from general 3D space. In this paper, we focus on the perspective generated by the compositing ...

We propose a graph matching-based anime-colorization method from line drawings using multiple reference images. A graph structure of each frame in an input line drawing sequence helps to find correspondences of regions to be colorized between frames. ...

In this paper, we propose a method that allows users to deform 3D facial model projection images with intuitive parameters for the axes of feature spaces that represent the style used for drawing faces for anime. The spaces are derived from hand-drawn ...

Automatic colorization is a significant task especially for Anime industry. An original trace image to be colorized contains not only outlines but also boundary contour lines of shadows and highlight areas. Unfortunately, these lines tend to decrease ...

Despite the increasing consumption and popularity of audio-visual materials and non-textual information, recommendation-based information retrieval research regarding these materials remains limited. To provide robust recommendation services to users, ...

Anime is increasingly becoming recognized as an important commercial product and cultural artifact. However, little is known regarding users' information needs and behavior related to anime. This study specifically attempts to improve our understanding ...

This paper describes a new method to animate anime-like hair motion that allows users to use existing cel character animation sequences. We demonstrate how to create cartoon hair animation accentuated in anime-like motions. The novelty of this approach ...

Japan's animation industry leads the world with output of 2D animation. The continuing focus on 2D is partly economic (lower production cost) and partly aesthetic. Japan's traditional pictorial language, the antithesis of Western optical realism, ...
