We present an approach for automatic cartoon-style motion dramatization suitable for interactive realtime animation. The system is built upon a physically based deformation model previously discussed in [GMPR06] and achieves squash-and-stretch cartoon deformation relevant to the current object velocity by controlling the deformations in the physically based model. As an improvement over previou...

The paper addresses structural decomposition of images by using a family of non-linear and non-convex objective functions. These functions rely on `p quasi-norm estimation costs in a piecewise constant regularization framework. These objectives make image decomposition into constant cartoon levels and rich textural patterns possible. The paper shows that these regularizing objectives yield imag...

the logic of animation making from real video fully depends on various image processing techniques and various kinds of filtering like Gaussian filtering, bilateral filtering, and flow based bilateral filtering, meanshift filtering etc. It also includes edge detecting methods like canny edge detector, dog edge detector, flow based dog edge detector etc. All this technique works differently on t...

This paper describes a computational approach to style conversion of cartoon animation. Our system works in two stages: the internal color shading phase, in which characters painted by the conventional method are segmented into their constituent regions and edges first, textures painted using different media are then added to the identified regions, and the line rendering phase, in which curvat...

In the context of non-photorealistic imaging, such as digital cel animation, lighting is symbolic and stylized to depict the scene’s mood and the geometric or physical features of the objects in the scene. Stylized light and shade should therefore be intentionally animated rather than rigorously simulated. However, it is difficult to achieve smooth animation of light and shade that are stylized...

We examined developmental changes in talker recognition skills by assessing 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children's recognition of 20 cartoon characters' voices. For each participant, the character set was subdivided into more and less familiar talkers based on the participant's ability to name each character. Four- and 5- year-old children recognized more of the voices (81% and 86%, respectively) th...

Separating an image into cartoon and texture components comes useful in image processing applications such as image compression, image segmentation, image inpainting. Yves Meyer’s influential cartoon texture decomposition model involves deriving an energy functional by choosing appropriate spaces and functionals. Minimizers of the derived energy functional are cartoon and texture components of ...

BACKGROUND Multiple studies have indicated that the Joe Camel advertising campaign has been successful in marketing tobacco to children and adolescents, whereas other studies have reported that current tobacco warning messages are ineffective. OBJECTIVE To determine the importance and believability of familiar and novel tobacco warning messages with and without cartoons that were modeled afte...

BACKGROUND With more than two billion people infected worldwide, soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are the most widespread infections. To date, STH control efforts rely predominantly on recurrent mass drug administration (MDA), which does not prevent reinfection. Additional public health measures including novel health educational tools are required for more sustained integrated control of STH. ...
