Histogram of Exclamation Marks and Its Application for Comics Analysis
This paper proposes a histogram formed by counting the number of exclamation marks in comic books for comics analysis. Exclamation marks in comic books are used for expressing character's emotion and are depicted in frequently excited scenes. Also they are easy to detect from different comic books written by various authors. Hence we represent each comic book by its distribution of exclamation marks as a histogram and use such histogram for topic change detection and visualization of relationships between comic books. Experimental results on real comic books show that our bold approach has potential for approximating of contents of comic books by using the proposed histograms.
An Active Contour Model for Speech Balloon Detection in Comics
Comic books constitute an important cultural heritage asset in many countries. Digitization combined with subsequent comic book understanding would enable a variety of new applications, including content-based retrieval and content retargeting. Document understanding in this domain is challenging as comics are semi-structured documents, combining semantically important graphical and textual parts. Few studies have been done in this direction. In this work we detail a novel approach for closed and non-closed speech balloon localization in scanned comic book pages, an essential step towards a fully automatic comic book understanding. The approach is compared with existing methods for closed balloon localization found in the literature and results are presented.
Design of Fixture for Pitch Circle Diameter Run-out Check
The design of fixture is an exceptionally mind boggling and natural process, which require learning and knowledge. Fixture configuration assumes an imperative part at the setup arranging stage. Appropriate fixture configuration is urgent for creating item quality in various terms of exactness, surface complete and accuracy of the machined parts. In existing plan the installation set up is done physically, so the point of this undertaking is to supplant with installation to spare time for stacking and emptying of segment. Apparatuses are ordinarily grouped by the kind of machine on which they are utilized. Installations can likewise be recognized by a sub arrangement. For instance, if an installation is intended to be utilized for examination called as inspection apparatus. By using the new designed fixture, run-out checking become easier and process becomes simpler.
