ABSTRACT
Nowadays, people have become able to publish their comics easily because of the spread of Web services featuring their own content. However, it is not easy for them to publish such comics because of the difficulty of improving their hand-drawing skill. One practice method is tracing. However, it is not easy for people to maintain motivation for this practice method. In this paper, we propose a method which enables people to improve their hand-drawing skills and motivation by creating a merging of their hand-drawn character and a corresponding model which is drawn by others automatically. We validate the usefulness of our method by using the system and show how to change the appearance of illustrations.

Stroke effect on legibility of Japanese characters
This study applied a computer program to analyze the descriptors of Japanese characters, including 56 Hiragana, 56 Katakana, and 98 Kanji characters. An experiment was designed to test the legibility of these characters by 40 Japanese students studying ...
Recognition of handprinted Kanji characters by the stroke matching method
This paper describes an improved stroke matching method for the recognition of handprinted Kanji characters. Using the stroke feature and two additional global features, a recognition rate of over 90% has been obtained for about 1000 Kanji characters.
Stroke++: A new Chinese input method for touch screen mobile phones
Over the past few decades, users have been feeling clumsy inputting Chinese on mobile devices, partly because the layout of the keyboard/keypad is originally designed for inputting Latin alphabets. To improve this user experience, we propose Stroke++, a ...
