Face Cartoon Generation based on Parts-by-parts Feature Calculation and Morphing

Abstract

Portrait icons have been increasingly used in various scenes including social networking services(SNS). Popular commercial systems to electronically create cartoons require users to select part images similarly looking to the users’ faces. Although these systems can generate cartoons with simple operation, it cannot adjust the fine shape of part images and it also needs to prepare a lot of sample part images. In this paper, we present a face cartoon generation system that could adjust the fine shape of part images by applying morphing. This system also relieves the number of sample part images by generating interpolation images.
