新华网8月29日电 即使你无法说服出版商让他们以你的生活为原型创作一部出彩的漫画书,你也不会给自己绘制简笔画,不用担心,你的福音来了。据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道,日本的神奈川功课大学的研究人员开发了一个有趣的系统,可以根据镜头取像自动生成漫画风格的图像,而主角可以是任何人。

边缘检测过滤器和其他成像技巧用于把人像变成类似手绘漫画的风格,根据拍摄对象的姿势自动插入背景,其他元素根据拍摄对象手和头部的位置排列。

最后,一张漫画单页就制作完成了。而要把它变成一本真正的漫画书,在背面你会看到一则广告。因为等该系统研究成熟后,该系统的定位是用一种有趣的方式制作令人难忘的宣传材料,这样人们在拿到以后不会毫不犹豫地丢掉。

You No Longer Need To Be an Artist To Appear In Your Own Comic Book

If you haven't been able to convince publishers your life would make for an awesome comic book, and can't draw more than a crude stick figure facsimile of yourself, you can thank the imaging researchers at the Kanagawa Institute of Technology in Japan. They've created a fun system that can automatically generate manga-style comics starring anyone striking a pose in front of its camera.

Edge-detection filters and other imaging tricks are used to turn photos of people into what appear to be hand-drawn images, with backgrounds automatically inserted based on their pose, and other elements positioned to line up with their hands or heads.

In the end a one-sheet manga page is printed, and to make it a truly authentic comic book, on the back you'll even find an advertisement. Because if and when the system ever moves past the research stage, it's being pitched as a fun way to generate memorable promotional materials that people will be hesitant to immediately throw away.
