Pose estimation of anime/manga characters
Pramook Khungurn, Derek Chou · 2016
2D articulated pose estimation is the task of locating the body joint positions of a human figure in an image. A pose estimator that works on anime/manga images could be an important component of an automatic system to create 3D animation from existing manga or anime, which could significantly the lower cost of media production. To create an accurate pose estimator, however, a sizable and high-quality dataset is needed, and such a dataset can be expensive to create.
