| "Manga" in Flying Colors | |
| The production of "manga" (Japanese comics) involves a complicated process. Coloring is among the most time consuming and labour-intensive procedures. But thanks to Professor Heng Pheng-Ann and Professor Wong Tien-Tsin of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, manga colourization will become a breeze with their newly developed "Computational Manga System". | |
The System includes "Manga Colourization" function which automatically identifies and simulates hand-drawn hatching and printed screening patterns, and fills up different regions without enclosed boundaries with the right colours quickly, the "Manga Screening" function of the System imitates the way a cartoonist lays screens with different patterns to transform coloured images into black/white manga with a much more promising result than the traditional halftone technique. The "Computational Manga System" developed by Professor Heng and Professor Wong not only helps enhance efficiency and consistency but also reduces the costs of manga production.
