4. Technical Presentation

Title: Turn to the Masters: Motion Capturing Cartoons

Abstract: Cartoon capture transforms a digitized cartoon into a cartoon motion representation. Using a combination of affine transformation and key- shape interpolation, cartoon capture tracks non-rigid shape changes in cartoon layers. Cartoon retargeting translates this information into different output media. The result is an animation with a new look but with the movement of the original cartoon.
