This paper is devoted to a recent topic in image analysis: the decomposition of an image into a cartoon or geometric part, and an oscillatory or texture part. Here, we propose a practical solution to the (BV,G) model proposed by Y. Meyer . We impose that the cartoon is a function of bounded variation, while the texture is represented as the Laplacian of some function whose gradient belongs to L...

We report a functional imaging study of drawing cartoon faces. Normal, untrained participants were scanned while viewing simple black and white cartoon line drawings of human faces, retaining them for a short memory interval, and then drawing them without vision of their hand or the paper. Specific encoding and retention of information about the faces were tested for by contrasting these two st...

Normal, untrained participants were scanned while viewing simple black and white cartoon line-drawings of human faces, retaining them for a short memory interval, and then drawing them without vision of their hand or the paper.

In.this paper we describe how techniques from traditional cartoon animation can be used to improve user orientation, interface presentation and interaction feedback in 3D environments. By encapsulating the principles of traditional cartoon animation in agents, that implement the interface components animation behaviour, their use in 3D user interfaces becomes simple and efficient for the inter-

We consider the problem of decomposing an image into a cartoon part and a textural part. The geometric and smoothly-varying component, referred to as cartoon, is composed of object hues and boundaries. The texture is an oscillatory component capturing details and noise. Variational models form a general framework to obtain u + v image decompositions, where cartoon and texture are forced into di...

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.

Many people show a left-right bias in visual processing. We measured spatial bias in neurotypical participants using a variant of the line bisection task. In the same participants, we measured performance in a social cognition task. This theory-of-mind task measured whether each participant had a processing-speed bias toward the right of, or left of, a cartoon agent about which the participant ...

Given the significant advancement in face detection and recognition techniques for human faces over recent years, we questioned how well would they work for cartoon faces a domain that remains largely unexplored yet, mainly due to the unavailability of abundant data sets and failure of traditional methods on these. In the present article, we employ various state-of-the-art deep learning framewo...

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new model for image restoration and image decomposition into cartoon and texture, based on the total variation minimization of Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi [Phys. D, 60 (1992), pp. 259–268], and on oscillatory functions, which follows results of Meyer [Oscillating Patterns in Image Processing and Nonlinear Evolution Equations, Univ. Lecture Ser. 22, AMS, Provid...
