Cartoon Avatar Processing Based on Image Edge Detection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Currently, face recognition plays an important role in many applications ranging from access control, suspect identification to automatic target recognition. Compared to these mature face recognition techniques, another kind of similar technique, which transfers human faces to abstract cartoon faces, is currently neglected until recent years. This paper mainly presents the approach on converting real face photos to cartoon pictures. In this paper, edge detection methods are used to for face and feature recognition, and feature-based sense organs matching methods are also developed for cartoon avatar generation according to facial feature correlation of the cartoon image galleries.
