Non-Photorealistic rendering techniques, such as toon rendering, can enhance the quality of hand-drawn cell-animation images greatly with less effort. For this reason, to on rendering is one of the popular techniques used in the cell-animation image production field. The existing toon rendering techniques, however, have not been effective enough for the real-time image processing that the techniques have not been adequate for some processes that needs immediate responses such as virtual-realities, or video games. This paper will suggest the real-time toon rendering to overcome the limits through real-time outline detection and phong shading. In addition, a effective result-image is created as adding a shadow and a execution time remains by real-time through fast shadow generation algorithm.

In this paper, we present a facial expression recognition-synthesis system that recognizes 7 basic emotion information automatically and renders face with non-photorelistic style in PDA For the recognition of the facial expressions, first we need to detect the face area within the image acquired from the camera. Then, a normalization procedure is applied to it for geometrical and illumination corrections. To classify a facial expression, we have found that when Gabor wavelets is combined with enhanced Fisher model the best result comes out. In our case, the out put is the 7 emotional weighting. Such weighting information transmitted to the PDA via a mobile network, is used for non-photorealistic facial expression animation. To render a 3-D avatar which has unique facial character, we adopted the cartoon-like shading method. We found that facial expression animation using emotional curves is more effective in expressing the timing of an expression comparing to the linear interpolation method.

This paper presents a method to generate stained-glass animation from video inputs. The method initially segments an input video volume into several regions considered as fragments of glass by mean-shift segmentation. However, the segmentation predominantly results in over-segmentation, causing several tiny segments in a highly textured area. In practice, assembling significantly tiny or large glass fragments is avoided to ensure architectural stability in stained glass manufacturing. Therefore, we use low-frequency components in the segmentation to prevent over-segmentation and subdivide segmented regions that are oversized. The subdividing must be coherent between adjacent frames to prevent temporal artefacts, such as flickering and the shower door effect. To temporally subdivide regions coherently, we obtain a panoramic image from the segmented regions in input frames, subdivide it using a weighted Voronoi diagram, and thereafter project the subdivided regions onto the input frames. To render stained glass fragment for each coherent region, we determine the optimal match glass fragment for the region from a dataset consisting of real stained-glass fragment images and transfer its color and texture to the region. Finally, applying lead came at the boundary of the regions in each frame yields temporally coherent stained-glass animation.

We suggest the dynamic stroke generation algorithm that provides frame-to-frame coherence in 3D non-photorealistic animations. We use 3D particle system to eliminate the visual popping effect in the animated scene. Since we have located particles on the 3D object's surface, the coherence is maintained when the object or the camera is moving in the scene. Also, this algorithm maintains the coherence when camera is zooming in/out. However, the brush strokes on the surface also zoom in/out. This result(too large or too small brush strokes) can not represent hand-crafted brush strokes. To remove this problem, we suggest stroke generation algorithm that dynamically maintains the number of brush stroke and its size during camera zoom in/out.

애니메이션에서 가장 중요하게 고려해야 할 문제는 프레임간 유사성을 어떻게 유지하느냐 이다. 각 프레임간 영상의 유사성이 없으면 프레임이 바뀔 때 좋지 못한 영상을 보여주기 때문이다. 또한 3차원 애니메이션을 위한 비사실적 렌더링에서는 프레임간 유사성뿐 아니라 렌더링을 수행하는 방법도 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 프레임간 유사성을 유지하기 위하여 파티클 시스템을 사용한다. 파티클을 물체의 실제 크기에 따라 분포시킴으로써 적절한 파티클의 수를 유지한다. 이때, 물체가 확대, 축소될 경우에는 화면상에서의 물체의 크기에 따라 동적으로 파티클의 수를 조정하게된다. 그리고 비사실적 렌더링을 위하여 붓의 터치를 표현할 스트로크를 사용하는데 스트로크의 방향, 색, 크기 등을 결정하기 위하여 참조 영상을 사용하는 렌더링 방법을 소개한다. 이렇게 결정된 스트로크들의 속성들은 붓 모양의 텍스쳐를 이용하여 렌더링 된다.
