Abstract

Black/white comic rendering is one of the researches in the field of non-photorealistic rendering(NPR). Black/white comics have been produced manually as yet. But these previous systems require lots of time and manual work. So we propose the COmics Rendering system on VIdeo Stream (CORVIS) which transforms video streams into black/white comic cuts. Stylized font, one of comic representations, can be used to express onomatopoeic words and mimetic dialogue exaggeratively. But current comic generation systems do not provide enough effects of stylized font. This paper proposes a model for stylized fonts to express various effects. Effects of stylized fonts we proposed include geometric deformations. Thus we could represent stylized fonts on the still cut of movies and the background texture on a cuts of plain black/white comics. The final quality of our system produced is good enough to compare with manual black/white comics.
