This paper focuses on how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to assist general users in the creation of professional portraits, that is, consistently converting rough sketches into high-quality anime portraits during their sketching process. The input this task is a sequence incomplete human freehand are gradually refined stroke by stroke, while output correspond as guidance. Although recent GANs generate high quality images, it challenging problem maintain generated images from with...

Synthesizing face images from monochrome sketches is one of the most fundamental tasks in field image-to-image translation. However, it still challenging to (1)~make models learn high-dimensional features such as geometry and color, (2)~take into account characteristics input sketches. Existing methods often use indirect inputs (or auxiliary inputs) guide models, resulting loss sketch or alteration information. In this paper, we introduce a Sketch-Guided Latent Diffusion Model (SGLDM), an...

This paper presents a method that enables the estimation and depiction of onomatopoeia in computer-generated animation based on physical parameters. Onomatopoeia is used to enhance characteristics movement, users understand more intuitively. We experiment with scenes within process. To quantify onomatopoeia, we employ Komatsu's [2012] assumption, i.e., can be expressed by n-dimensional vector. also propose phonetic symbol vectors correspondence symbols impressions using questionnaire-based...

Animating 3D characters using motion capture data requires basic expertise and manual labor. To support the creativity of animation design make it easier for common users, we present a sketch-based interface DualMotion, with rough sketches as input designing daily-life animations characters, such walking jumping.Our approach enables to combine global motions lower limbs local upper in database by utilizing two-stage strategy. Users are allowed starting drawing trajectory body/lower limb...

Synthesizing facial images from monochromatic sketches is one of the most fundamental tasks in field image-to-image translation. However, it still challenging to teach model high-dimensional face features, such as geometry and color, characteristics input sketches, which should be considered simultaneously. Existing methods often use indirect inputs (or auxiliary inputs) guide models, resulting loss sketch features or alterations information. In this paper, we introduce a Sketch-Guided...

Data-driven animation using a large human motion database enables the programing of various natural motions. While development capture system allows acquisition realistic motion, segmenting captured into series primitive motions for construction is necessary. Although most segmentation methods have focused on periodic e.g., walking and jogging, non-periodic asymmetrical such as dance performance, remains challenging problem. In this paper, we present specialized approach motion. Our consists...

Constructing stroke correspondences between keyframes is one of the most important processes in production pipeline hand-drawn inbetweening frames. This process requires time-consuming manual work imposing a tremendous burden on animators. We propose method to estimate raster character images (keyframes) without vectorization processes. First, proposed system separates closed areas each keyframe and estimates by using characteristics shape, depth, area connection. Second, from estimated...

Reproducibility of data analysis workflow is a key issue in the field bioinformatics. Recent computing technologies, such as virtualization, have made it possible to reproduce execution with ease. However, reproducibility results not well discussed; that is, there no standard way verify whether biological interpretation reproduced same. Therefore, still remains challenge automatically evaluate results.

Wire sculpture is a unique art form where an artist represents 3D using 1D wires. However, the design of novel wire difficult and limited to talented experts. We introduce computer-assisted framework for manually creating bending from given models. Our method extracts set contour-curves several viewpoints as target sculpture. Next, we generate grooves on surface model, prints it with printer support. By directly fitting wires into assembling, users can fabricate easily quickly.

Dressing virtual characters is necessary for many applications such as film and game. However, modeling clothing a significant bottleneck, because it requires manual effort to design clothing, position correctly on the body, adjusting fitting. Therefore, even if we wish similar looking that have very different poses shapes, would need repeat tedious process practically from scratch. We then propose method automatic design-preserving transfer of between in various shapes. As shown results,...

Dressing virtual characters is necessary for many applications, while modeling clothing a significant bottleneck. Therefore, it has been proposed that the idea of Garment Transfer transfer-ring model from one character to another [Brouet et al. 2012]. In recent years, this extended be applicable between in various poses and shapes [Narita 2014]. However, texture design not preserved their method since they deform source fit target body (see Figure 1(a)(c)).

In recent years, a lot of 3D character dance animation movies are created by amateur users using 3DCG editing tools (e.g. MikuMikuDance). Whereas, most them manually. Then automatic facial system for dancing will be useful to create and visualize impressions effectively. Therefore, we address the challenging theme estimate character's emotions (we call "dance emotion"). previous work considering music features, DiPaola et al.
