A Personalized Image-Based Cartoon System
基于图像的个性化卡通系统

In this paper, a Cartoon system is presented, which can generate a personalized Cartoon face from an input image. The system is designed for general users. After a realistic-looking Cartoon face automatically generated by this system, attractive Cartoon expressions and animation can be created with little user-interactions. The system consists of three main components, an image-based automatic Cartoon generator, a template-based Cartoon editor, and a speech-driven Cartoon animator. An example-based approach is taken by Cartoon generator to generate the Cartoon face while capturing an artist style.An inhomogenous non-parmetric sampling is employed to lwarn the atatistical relationship between the original image and the drawing.For editing,pre-designed expression templates are supplied by Cartoon editor editor.A real time lip-syncing algorithm is also developed to make Cartoon animation easily.The Cartoon and animation generated by this system have personal style.This is the main advantage of this system over others.
