Interactive Comic Generation Support System with Effect Materials

Abstract

This paper proposes an interactive comic generation support system with effect materials. In the proposed system, short text with a story and images related to the topic are input, and a comic is interactively generated. It is an interactive system that allows users to select unsatisfied frames and regenerate only those frames after generating comic. It is also possible to regenerate in smaller parts, such as backgrounds, characters, balloons, drawn characters, and comic marks, in the selected frames. This makes it possible to quickly generate comics that are highly satisfying to users. Furthermore, the use of effect materials such as drawn characters, comic marks, and effect lines has been introduced. As a result, more comic-like expressions are possible. Comic is a more effective information transmission method than documents. Through the evaluation experiment, the effect of interactive regeneration and the usefulness by introducing drawn characters, comic marks, and effect lines have been confirmed.
