Abstract:
We present a novel color-by-example technique which combines image segmentation, patch-based sampling and probabilistic reasoning. This method is able to automate movie colorization when new color information is applied on the already designed black-andwhite cartoon. Our technique is especially suitable for cartoons digitized from classical celluloid movies, which have been originally produced by a paper or foil based method. In this case, the background is a static image whilst only the dynamic foreground needs to be colored frame-by-frame. We also assume that objects in the foreground layer consist of several well visible outlines which will emphasize the shape of homogeneous regions.
