As a popular comic style, manga offers a unique impression by utilizing a rich set of bitonal patterns, or screentones, for illustration. However, screentones can easily be contaminated with visual-unpleasant aliasing and/or blurriness…
Manga, as a widely beloved form of entertainment around the world, have shifted from paper to electronic screens with the proliferation of handheld devices. However, as the demand for image quality increases with screen development,…
The process of adapting or repurposing manga pages is a time-consuming task that requires manga artists to manually work on every single screentone region and apply new patterns to create novel screentones across multiple panels. To address…
The topic of facial landmark detection has been widely covered for pictures of human faces, but it is still a challenge for drawings. Indeed, the proportions and symmetry of standard human faces are not always used for comics or mangas. The…
Anime is a storytelling medium similar to movies and books. Anime images are a kind of artworks, which are almost entirely drawn by hand. Hence, reproducing existing Anime with larger sizes and higher quality images is expensive. Therefore,…
We present an inference-time adaptation method that tailors a pretrained image editing model to each input manga image using only the input image itself. Despite recent progress in pretrained image editing, such models often underperform on…
The Japanese comic format known as Manga is popular all over the world. It is traditionally produced in black and white, and colorization is time consuming and costly. Automatic colorization methods generally rely on greyscale values, which…
Accelerated magnetic resonance (MR) scan acquisition with compressed sensing (CS) and parallel imaging is a powerful method to reduce MR imaging scan time. However, many reconstruction algorithms have high computational costs. To address…
Understanding region-wise correspondences between manga line art images is fundamental for high-level manga processing, supporting downstream tasks such as line art colorization and in-between frame generation. Unlike natural images that…
We developed "Comicolorization", a semi-automatic colorization system for manga images. Given a monochrome manga and reference images as inputs, our system generates a plausible color version of the manga. This is the first work to address…
Aliasing artifacts in renderings produced by Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) is a long-standing but complex issue in the field of 3D implicit representation, which arises from a multitude of intricate causes and was mitigated by designing more…
This paper is on image and face super-resolution. The vast majority of prior work for this problem focus on how to increase the resolution of low-resolution images which are artificially generated by simple bilinear down-sampling (or in a…
While state-of-the-art background removal models excel at realistic imagery, they frequently underperform in specialized domains such as anime-style content, where complex features like hair and transparency present unique challenges. To…
Raster images can have a range of various distortions connected to their raster structure. Upsampling them might in effect substantially yield the raster structure of the original image, known as aliasing. The upsampling itself may…
Manga, a widely celebrated Japanese comic art form, is renowned for its diverse narratives and distinct artistic styles. However, the inherently visual and intricate structure of Manga, which comprises images housing multiple panels, poses…
Item cold-start is a classical issue in recommender systems that affects anime and manga recommendations as well. This problem can be framed as follows: how to predict whether a user will like a manga that received few ratings from the…
Pixel-wise predictions are required in a wide variety of tasks such as image restoration, image segmentation, or disparity estimation. Common models involve several stages of data resampling, in which the resolution of feature maps is first…
Typical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan may take 20 to 60 minutes. Reducing MRI scan time is beneficial for both patient experience and cost considerations. Accelerated MRI scan may be achieved by acquiring less amount of k-space data…
Sparse reconstruction is an important aspect of MRI, helping to reduce acquisition time and improve spatial-temporal resolution. Popular methods are based mostly on compressed sensing (CS), which relies on the random sampling of k-space to…
As a highly ill-posed issue, single image super-resolution (SISR) has been widely investigated in recent years. The main task of SISR is to recover the information loss caused by the degradation procedure. According to the Nyquist sampling…
