| Manga is one of popular item in Japan and also in the rest of the world. Hundreds of manga book
is printed everyday in Japan, and some of printed manga book is digitized into web content for
reading comic through the internet. People then make translation of Japanese language in manga
into other language to share enjoy of reading manga for non Japanese reader. However, people
make translation of the text on printed comic book (they call it scanlation) in manually because
there is no automatic method for translate comic text image into any other language. The
challenge in extracting Japanese character in manga is how to detect comic balloon and extract
text in vertical direction as Japanese classic writing direction is top down and right to left.
Several research projects [1-4] proposed method for text extraction from images but not specific
for extraction from comic image. There are two base methods for text extraction, using region
based method and texture based method. In [5], propose the concept of automatic mobile content
conversion using semantic image analysis that include comic text extraction, but this paper did
not explain the details for text extraction. Also, Yamada [6] proposed method for comic image
decomposition for reading comic on mobile phone that including comic text extraction but not
details on comic text extraction. The conventional method assuming extraction process in offline
way and using scanned comic image. In the internet and mobility era, we need advance method
for extraction text in online way and automatically |
