Cartoon Style Rendering

The objective of Cartoon Style Rendering is to produce a cartoon looking rendering out of a 3D scene. Instead of rendering photorealistic images the focus lies on artistic and stylistic characteristics. In this paper we give an overview of the common methods to generate cartoon looking scenes. We describe the basic techniques for the silhouette edge detection and the shading of the interior. Th...

Vectorization of Cartoon Drawings

Cartoon+Texture Image Decomposition

The algorithm first proposed in [3] stems from a theory proposed by Yves Meyer in [1]. The cartoon+texture algorithm decomposes any image f into the sum of a cartoon part, u , where only the image contrasted shapes appear, and a textural v part with the oscillating patterns. Such a decomposition f=u+v is analogous to the classical signal processing low pass-high pass filter decomposition. Howev...

Cartoon talking heads

We discuss CharToon, an interactive system to design and animate 2D cartoon talking heads. We give illustrations of the expressive and artistic effects which can be produced. It has been used with success by different types of users.

Learning from Humanoid Cartoon Designs

Character design is a key ingredient to the success of any comicbook, graphic novel, or animated feature. Artists typically use shape, size and proportion as the first design layer to express role, physicality and personality traits. In this paper, we propose a knowledge mining framework that extracts primitive shape features from finished art, and trains models with labeled metadata attributes...
