  • a team of researchers has designed a program that can automatically transform movie scenes into comic strips, without the need for any human intervention.
  • previous programs have been developed to assist cartoonists in converting movies into comics
  • new method is the first fully automated approach
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • automatic script-face mapping algorithm that identifies the speaking character in scenes with multiple characters, automatic generation of comic panels of different sizes, positioning word balloons, and rendering movie frames in a cartoon style.
  • used the new method to transform 15 movie clips into comic strips
  • varied in length from 2 to 7 minutes
  • Titanic,” “Sherlock Holmes,” and “The Message
  • sometimes put word bubbles next to the faces of incorrect characters
  • script-face mapping algorithm had an accuracy of 85%, which the researchers hope to improve.
  • technique is capable of performing all steps automatically
  • researchers noted that involving some human effort could lead to even better results
  • software would provide recommendations for each step of the transformation process, and humans could manually adjust the results much more quickly and efficiently than in pure manual methods
  • two future plans
  • improve the performance of each component, such as script-face mapping, and hope we can generate perfect clips without user interaction
  • integrate speech recognition technology to generalize the software, such that we can generate comics without movie scripts
