| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 100 === With the advances of animation technology and industries, many animations are produced every year. According to the latest statistics released by the Association of Japanese Animations, more than 200 animations produced every year from 2004 only in Japan. For animation fans, they keep their eyes on the newly-released episodes every day or every week. How to efficiently browse large volume of animation, therefore, becomes an important problem. In this thesis, we propose a media transforming system that transforms animations into comics. This system can not only increase browsing speed but also increase browsing experience. We first conduct shot change detection, select keyframes from each shot, and conduct scene detection. We devise a method to arrange frames into pages, and then select the most appropriate layout for presentation. We select appropriate region of each keyframe to stick on the targeted cell of the layout. Finally, we can generate comics that appropriately display information of the original animation.
In experiments, we show performance of scene boundary detection and the iteration process of the optimization framework. In addition, we design a user study to evaluate how users feel about the generated comic pages. The user study show very promising results.
