Generating Screened Manga Sketches from Colored Photographs

Raphael Henry M. Garay and Allan A. Sioson

Abstract: In this paper, we show how edge detection and screening techniques are applied on an input colored image to produce an image that resembles traditional Manga sketch. The input images are colored pages taken from manga artworks or photographs. The overall technique developed is implemented in C++ and OpenCV library.
