Character pancake production support tool

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to create a support tool that would enable people with low confidence in their drawing ability to easily and beautifully create pancakes with character illustrations. First, a guide image was created by dividing the input image into five levels based on the brightness of the color. The guide image was then displayed on the hot plate using a projector. The user then creates the pancake by tracing the guide. As a result, it was possible to create a beautiful illustration pancake that expresses the difference in color in 5 stages with the color of the baked.
