This study presents a method for capturing photographs of users as input and converting them into 2D character animation sprites using a generative adversarial network-based artificial intelligence network. Traditionally, 2D character animations have been created by manually creating an entire sequence of sprite images, which incurs high development costs. To address this issue, this study proposes a technique that combines motion videos and sample 2D images. In the 2D sprite generation process that uses the proposed technique, a sequence of images is extracted from real-life images captured by the user, and these are combined with character images from within the game. Our research aims to leverage cutting-edge deep learning-based image manipulation techniques, such as the GAN-based motion transfer network (impersonator) and background noise removal (U² -Net), to generate a sequence of animation sprites from a single image. The proposed technique enables the creation of diverse animations and motions just one image. By utilizing these advancements, we focus on enhancing productivity in the game and animation industry through improved efficiency and streamlined production processes. By employing state-of-the-art techniques, our research enables the generation of 2D sprite images with various motions, offering significant potential for boosting productivity and creativity in the industry.

본 논문에서는 새로운 방식의 스프라이트 생성 방법을 논하였다 스프라이트로부터 원 영상을 예측해 그 오차(SAD : Sum of Absolute Difference)를 제어하는 방법으로 다좌표계 스프라이트(MCS : Multi-Coordinate Sprite)를 제안하였다. 예측 오차를 제어함으로써 기존에 제안된 방법으로 생성된 정적 스프라이트 보다 좋은 화질을 갖는 원 영상을 예측할 수 있음을 보여준다. 특히, MCS 생성 기법은 기존의 방법으로 생성된 스프라이트로부터 영상을 예측했을 때 화질 열화가 심한 카메라의 확대 움직임이 심한 영상들을 포함한 영상열에 대해서도 제한된 오차를 갖는 원 영상을 복원해 낼 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

This paper proposes an image generation method using a Multi Discriminator Generative Adversarial Net (MDGAN) as a next generation 2D game sprite creation technique. The proposed GAN is an Autoencoder-based model that receives three areas of information-color, shape, and animation, and combines them into new images. This model consists of two encoders that extract color and shape from each image, and a decoder that takes all the values of each encoder and generates an animated image. We also suggest an image processing technique during the learning process to remove the noise of the generated images. The resulting images show that 2D sprites in games can be generated by independently learning the three image attributes of shape, color, and animation. The proposed system can increase the productivity of massive 2D image modification work during the game development process. The experimental results demonstrate that our MDGAN can be used for 2D image sprite generation and modification work with little manual cost.

This paper describes the designed and fabricated thermal imaging system with the SPRITE(Signal PRocessing in The Element) detector, operating in the 3-12 micron band. This system consists of an afocal telescope, a scan unit containing the SPRITE detector, an electronic processor unit and a cooler. The optical scan system utilizing rotating polygon and oscillating mirror, is 2-dimensional serial/parallel scan type using five elements of the detector. And the electronic processor unit performs digital scan conversion to reform the parallel data stream into serial analog data compatable with conventional RS-170 video. The scan field of view is 40 ${\times}$ 26.7 and the MRTD(Minium Resolvable Temperature Difference) is 0.6 K at 7.5 cycles/mm. The acquired thermal image indicates that this system has a satisfactory performance.

In this paper, we propose an image-based synthesis method that can effectively represent the spark effect in fire simulation. We use the real flame image or animated image as inputs and perform the following steps : 1) extract feature vectors from the image, 2) calculate artificial buoyancy, and 3) generate and advect spark textures. We detect the edge from images and then calculate the feature vectors to calculate the buoyancy. In the next step, we compute the high-quality buoyancy vector field by integrating the two-dimensional feature vector and the fluid equation. Finally, the spark texture is advect by buoyancy field. As a result, our method is performed much faster than the previous approach and high-quality results can be obtained easily and stably.

This is the one concept of the Korea paintings which defines the korea Art sprite. The line of korea painting is very important. It is impressions, korea artist had mastered the difficult art line of representing movement. That offers the important motive, that is discovery of Identity. this korea painting's line is like to meditation. To meditate is to think and ponder about the same holy truth for many hours on end, to fix an idea in one's mind and to look at it from all sides without letting go of it. That is the purpose behind the greatest of the korean landscape paintings Futhermore that is the purpose Shui-Mo paintings. This is the most important. What the korean value most highly in art. There is something wonderful in this restraint of Korea art, in its deliberate limitation to a few simple motifs of nature. But today, anyone did not interested in this motif. So that Shui-Mo paintings did not concerned too. Therefore, we consider it childish to look for details in pictures and then to compare them with the real world. We masters to acquire such a facility in the handling of brush and ink that write down their vision while their inspiration was still fresh.
