- A Video Summarization Technique of Animation Products According to Film Comic Format
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
This research focuses on the book medium that makes it possi- ble to enjoy anime works called film comics in ”manga” format. Film comics are produced by the time-consuming task of produc- tion editing. Furthermore, we investigated video summaries from anime works that were inspired by comic techniques. In a previ- ous method [Cao et al. 2012], user-specified frames were cut from animation images, leaving only the highly-attractive frames, called keyframes. Meanwhile, the recommended areas were automatically selected based on the four characteristics of the film comics (see Fig. 1). Here, recommended area is the area that should be dis- played inside the comic frame, such as character’s faces and elabo- rately drawn backgrounds.
