TLDR
A manga-specific image retrieval system that consists of efficient margin labeling, edge orientation histogram feature description with screen tone removal, and approximate nearest-neighbor search using product quantization is proposed.Abstract:
Manga (Japanese comics) are popular worldwide. However, current e-manga archives offer very limited search support, i.e., keyword-based search by title or author. To make the manga search experience more intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable, we propose a manga-specific image retrieval system. The proposed system consists of efficient margin labeling, edge orientation histogram feature description with screen tone removal, and approximate nearest-neighbor search using product quantization. For querying, the system provides a sketch-based interface. Based on the interface, two interactive reranking schemes are presented: relevance feedback and query retouch. For evaluation, we built a novel dataset of manga images, Manga109, which consists of 109 comic books of 21,142 pages drawn by professional manga artists. To the best of our knowledge, Manga109 is currently the biggest dataset of manga images available for research. Experimental results showed that the proposed framework is efficient and scalable (70 ms from 21,142 pages using a single computer with 204 MB RAM).read more

Edge Guided Learning for Image Super-resolution with Realistic Textures
TL;DR: An edge-guided SR neural network is proposed by introducing a plug-in edge detection module and incorporating a new edge loss, which increases the reconstruction accuracy and reduces artifacts, which indicates the ability of reconstructing realistic textures can be transferred well from Edge-SRN to a small model.
