Research on Character Action Recognition of Digital Comics

In recent years, the development of digital comics industry is in full swing. At the same time with the increasing number of digital comic works, its copyright protection has become imminent. In order to solve the problem of personality action piracy and plagiarism in digital comics, this paper proposes a recognition method of character personality action in digital comics. Firstly, the GrabCut image segmentation algorithm is used to obtain the digital cartoon characters. Secondly, the horizontal rectangle is used to box select the role, so as to obtain the central point coordinates of the role. Finally, using the central point coordinates of the character and the z-axis set according to the proportion of the horizontal rectangle in the image and given a certain weight to establish three-dimensional coordinates, calculate the motion vector, and finally get the motion angle, angle mean value, angle variance and angle standard deviation of the cartoon character. Experimental results show that this method can accurately extract the action features of the moving characters in digital comics, and has a high accuracy.
