Enhanced auto coloring with hierarchical region matching
This paper proposes a Hierarchical Region Matching (HRM) approach for computer-assisted auto coloring. The region-level analysis in traditional 2D animation is expanded into several component levels with a novel hierarchization method. With the hierarchy, various region matching algorithms can be applied from the first/highest to the last/lowest component level. HRM improves the matching accuracy and may deal with matching errors caused by occlusion, thus making the matching more robust, as verified by the results. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
