Fast Frame Decomposition and Sorting by Contour Tracing for Comic Images

Abstract

In viewing comics on a mobile phone, the screen may be inadequate in resolution and size. A comic then needs to be decomposed into frames and put them in order to be read properly, whereas it is known that an accurate decomposition is not easy. In this paper, we develop an accurate and fast decomposition system using contour tracing and evaluate it comparing with an existing commertial technology.
