In addition, since there is almost no monochrome manga culture overseas, it is necessary to color manga in order to develop it as a publication overseas. For this reason, coloring work is required when converting manga into electronic data.

  However, since many characters such as persons are drawn in manga, there is a problem that it is necessary to repeat the coloring work for the characters. For example, if 1 to 2 characters appear on average in one frame, about 5 to 10 characters appear on one page. Therefore, in a single book that summarizes about 10 episodes, 1000 or more characters are drawn. Therefore, when performing the coloring work for one book, the coloring must be performed for 1000 or more characters.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for showing a configuration of an area designating apparatus 1 for carrying out the present invention. The area designation device 1 is a personal computer that is generally used, and includes a CPU 11, a display unit 12, an input unit 13, a network I / F 14, a media drive 15, a storage unit 16, and a memory 17.

  The CPU 11 controls the entire area designating device 1 and realizes the function of the area designating device 1 by executing in the memory 17 a program 181 recorded on the media disk 18 inserted in the media drive 15 in particular. .

  The display unit 12 is used for displaying information necessary for designating a plurality of closed regions of the character represented by the line drawing. The input unit 13 includes a mouse and a keyboard, and is used by an operator to input instructions to the area specifying device 1.

  The network I / F 14 is for connecting the area specifying device 1 and a network (not shown). The area designating apparatus 1 receives line drawing data LD for designating a plurality of closed areas from a network (not shown) via the network I / F 14. Further, a program 181 that realizes the function of the area specifying device 1 may be downloaded from a server (not shown).

  The media drive 15 is used for reading the program 181 recorded on the media disk 18. The function of the area specifying device 1 is realized by the program 181 read by the media drive 15.

  The storage unit 16 stores the program 181 read by the media drive 15.

  The memory 17 is a work area for the CPU 11 to execute the program 181 stored in the storage unit 16. As a result of the execution of the program 181 by the CPU 11, the functions of the multiple closed region designation unit 171 and the coloring unit 172 are realized in the memory 17.

  The multiple closed area designation unit 171 designates a plurality of closed areas constituting the character represented by the line drawing in the line drawing data LD by the operation of the operator of the area designation device 1.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a character represented by a line drawing. As shown in the drawing, the line drawing character LW is expressed by combining a plurality of closed regions LA1, LA2, LA3 and a characteristic portion TP which is a characteristic portion for specifying the character.

  Each of the closed areas LA1, LA2, and LA3 is a closed area for representing a character. For example, LA1 represents a hat, LA2 represents a face, and LA3 represents a torso. Expressed.

  The characteristic part TP is a characteristic part given to specify the character. Characters in manga exhibit a self-other identification function for readers, and therefore, characteristic parts are often assigned to specify the character. For example, in FIG. 2, a “bow tie” is a characteristic part that identifies a character for distinguishing it from other characters. A part for specifying such a character is used as a characteristic part of the character as a characteristic part TP that serves as a reference for designating a plurality of closed regions in a process described later.

  The multiple closed region designation unit 171 displays a multiple closed region designation pointer HP that can be operated by the input unit 13 on the display unit 12 in order to designate a plurality of closed regions constituting such a line drawing character LW. The multiple closed area designation pointer HP is used to designate a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW represented by the line drawing data LD displayed on the display unit 12.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for illustrating an example of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP. The multiple closed region designation pointer HP is a kind of pointer displayed on the display unit 12 and operable by the input unit 13.

  The multiple closed area designation pointer HP includes a feature part designation window TW and a plurality of area designation points RP arranged at predetermined positions. The multiple closed region designation pointer HP shown in FIG. 3 includes three region designation points RP1, RP2, and RP3. Note that the shape of the feature portion designation window TW is not limited to a rectangle, and the number of region designation points RP is not limited to three.

  The feature portion designation window TW is for designating the feature portion TP in the line drawing character LW. The part of the line drawing character LW displayed on the display unit 12 where the operator operates the input unit 13 to position the characteristic part designation window TW is designated as the characteristic part TP of the line drawing character LW. In a process to be described later, the region designation point RP is set by setting the feature portion TP by the feature portion designation window TW.

  The area designation point RP is a designation point for designating a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW. The region designation point RP is disposed at a predetermined distance from the feature portion designation window TW. For example, in FIG. 3, the region designation point RP1 is arranged so as to designate the closed region LA1, RP2 designates the closed region LA2, and RP3 designates the closed region LA3.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the multiple closed area designation pointer HP is displayed on the line drawing character LW. As shown in the figure, when the input portion 13 is operated to display the feature portion designation window TW so as to be positioned at the feature portion TP on the line drawing character LW, the region designation points RP are respectively displayed in the closed regions LA1, LA2, Since it is located on LA3, it becomes possible to designate the closed areas LA1, LA2, and LA3 at a time in this state.

  In addition to the advantage that a plurality of closed areas can be specified at the same time, the plurality of closed areas specified by the multiple closed area specification pointer HP specify the closed area around the characteristic part that specifies the character, so that it is surely desired. A plurality of closed areas constituting the character can be designated. In addition, a plurality of closed regions can be easily specified simply by operating the multiple closed region specifying pointer HP so that the feature portion TP fits in the feature portion specifying window TW.

  The multiple closed region designation unit 171 includes a feature portion designation window setting unit 1711, a region designation point setting unit 1712, a multiple closed region designation window scaling unit 1712, as a configuration related to the function of displaying the multiple closed region designation pointer HP. A multiple closed region designation window rotation unit 1714 is provided.

  The feature portion designation window setting unit 1711 sets a feature portion designation window TW for the feature portion TP. The operator operates the input unit 13 to specify a characteristic part for specifying the character in the line drawing in the line drawing character LW displayed on the display unit 12, thereby setting the characteristic part designation window TW. As a method for setting the feature portion designation window TW, the input unit 13 is operated to draw a rectangle that includes the feature portion TP that is a characteristic portion of the line drawing, and the drawn rectangle is used as the feature portion designation window. The setting unit 1711 sets the feature portion designation window TW. At this time, the drawing including the characteristic portion TP may be not only a rectangle but also a circle or an ellipse.

  The area designation point setting unit 1712 sets a plurality of area designation points RP located at a predetermined distance from the feature portion designation window TW. After the characteristic portion designation window TW is set, the operator operates the input unit 13 to designate a plurality of closed regions of the line drawing representing the character in the line drawing character LW displayed on the display unit 12, thereby specifying a region designation point. The setting unit 1712 sets the designated position as a position where the area designation point RP is arranged. In addition, the region designation point setting unit 1712 sets a color to be colored in the closed region designated by the region designation point RP after the plurality of region designation points RP are set.

  FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP set by the feature portion designation window setting unit 1711 and the region designation point setting unit 1712. As described above, the multiple closed region designation pointer HP is composed of the feature portion designation window TW and the plurality of region designation points RP. Therefore, as shown in FIG. A data structure of the point RP. As shown in the figure, the feature portion designation window TW is defined by “rectangle” indicating a rectangle and coordinate values of two vertices. Each region designation point RP has an offset value and color information from the barycentric point of the feature portion designation window TW.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the multiple closed area designation pointer scaling unit 1713 executes a function of changing the size of the multiple closed area designation pointer HP when designating a plurality of closed areas. Characters are expressed in various sizes during the production of a manga, so when specifying a closed region for coloring, it is necessary to cope with changes in the size. Therefore, the multiple closed region designation pointer scaling unit 1713 changes the size of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP based on the operation of the input unit 13 by the operator, so that even characters represented in various sizes can be closed. The area can be easily specified.

  The multiple closed area designation pointer rotating unit 1714 executes a function of rotating the multiple closed area designation pointer HP when designating a plurality of closed areas. Characters are expressed at various angles during the production of a manga, so when specifying a closed region for coloring, it is necessary to correspond to the angles. Therefore, the multiple closed area designation pointer rotating unit 1714 rotates the multiple closed area designation pointer HP based on the operation of the input unit 13 by the operator, thereby easily closing the closed area even for a character expressed at various angles. Can be specified.

  The coloring unit 172 performs coloring processing on the plurality of closed regions designated by the plurality of closed region designation units 171. Various well-known methods can be used for the coloring process for the closed region of the line drawing. Also, even if the area designated by the plural closed area designation pointer HP is visually a closed area, if there is a line break or the like and it is not actually a closed area, a line joining process or the like is executed to close the area. The process may be executed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the area specifying device 1. First, in step S1, the area specifying device 1 acquires and displays the line drawing data LD. The line drawing data LD is obtained from a network (not shown) via the network I / F unit 14, the line drawing data LD recorded on the media disk 18 is obtained via the media drive 15, or the area designating device. What is created by the line drawing creation function (not shown) provided in 1 is acquired. The area specifying device 1 displays the acquired line drawing data LD on the display unit 12. As a result, the operator can visually recognize the line drawing character LW expressed by the line drawing.

  In step S2, a plurality of closed region designation pointers HP are set. For the displayed line drawing character LW, the operator operates the input unit 13 to designate a characteristic part for specifying the line drawing character LW as a characteristic part TP. Based on the designation, the feature portion designation window setting unit 1711 sets the feature portion designation window TW in accordance with the feature portion TP designation processing. Subsequently, the operator operates the input unit 13 to designate a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LW. Based on the designation, the area designation point setting unit 1712 sets the area designation point RP according to the closed area designation processing. In addition, for each area designation point RP, the operator designates a color to be colored in the closed area, so that the area designation point setting unit 1712 sets a color for coloring the closed area designated by the area designation point RP. To do. If the feature portion designation window TW and the plurality of region designation points RP are set, the plurality of closed region designation portions 171 specify a combination of the feature portion designation window TW and the plurality of region designation points RP as a plurality of closed region designation pointers HP. As shown in FIG.

  In step S3, the operator operates the input unit 13 and designates a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LW using the plurality of closed region designation pointers HP. The designation of a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW in step S3 is basically performed as shown in FIG.

  Further, the designation of a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW by the plural closed area designation pointer HP can be variously applied as shown in FIG.

7A and 7B show a line drawing character LWb having a size larger than that of the line drawing character LW of FIG. 4 used for setting the multiple closed region designation pointer HP in step S2 and a line drawing having a size smaller than that of the line drawing character LW. It is a figure for demonstrating the several closed area designation | designated by the multiple closed area designation | designated pointer HP with respect to character LWs.
As shown in the figure, the size of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP is changed in order to designate a closed region constituting the line drawing character LWb having a larger size than the line drawing character LW used for setting. For example, when the operator rotates the scroll wheel provided in the mouse while pressing the “ctrl” key on the keyboard of the input unit 13, the multiple closed region designation pointer HP is changed. 1713 enlarges the multiple closed area designation pointer HP.

  On the other hand, when the closed region constituting the line drawing character LWs smaller in size than the line drawing character LW used for setting is designated, the operator is provided with the mouse while pressing the “ctrl” key on the keyboard of the input unit 13. When the scroll wheel is rotated in the direction opposite to that at the time of enlargement, the multiple closed area designation pointer scaling unit 1713 reduces the multiple closed area designation pointer HP.

  Therefore, even if a plurality of line drawing characters LW appearing in the manga production appear different in size, the area designating device 1 can easily designate a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW. .

  FIG. 7C shows a plurality of closed regions by the multiple closed region designation pointer HP for the line drawing character LWr in the state where the line drawing character LW of FIG. 4 used for setting the multiple closed region designation pointer HP in step S2 is rotated. It is a figure for demonstrating designation | designated.

  As shown in the figure, the angle of the multiple closed area designation pointer HP is changed in order to designate a closed area constituting the line drawing character LWr in which the line drawing character LW used for setting is rotated at a predetermined angle. For example, when the operator rotates the scroll wheel provided in the mouse while pressing the “shift” key on the keyboard of the input unit 13, the multiple closed region designation pointer HP is changed in size. Reference numeral 1713 rotates the plural closed region designation pointer HP while maintaining the aspect ratio. The direction of rotation may be such that it can be rotated in only one direction or in both directions.

  As described above, even if a plurality of line drawing characters LW appearing during the production of the manga are rotated when appearing, the area designating device 1 can easily designate a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW. it can.

  FIG. 7D shows a case where a plurality of closed areas are designated by the multiple closed area designation pointer HP with respect to the line drawing character LWy in which the line drawing character LW of FIG. 4 used for setting the multiple closed area designation pointer HP in step S2 is represented sideways. It is a figure for demonstrating area | region designation | designated.

  As shown in the figure, when the line drawing character LW used for the setting is expressed sideways, the manga character is often expressed differently from the actual human body. In the case of FIG. 7D, the face of the line drawing character LWy faces sideways, but the body expression does not differ greatly from the expression of the line drawing character LW at the time of setting. In such a case, it is possible to designate a plurality of closed areas for the line drawing character LWy using the plural closed area designation pointer HP.

  As described above, even if a plurality of line drawing characters LW appearing in the manga production are expressed slightly differently, the area designating device 1 easily designates a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW. be able to.

  In the description of FIG. 7, the individual operations are described for the plurality of closed region designations using the plurality of closed region designation pointers HP. However, these operations may be performed simultaneously.

  In step S4, it is determined whether or not the closed region has been designated for all line drawing characters LW in the line drawing data LD. If closed area designation has not been performed for all line drawing characters LW, the process returns to step S3 to repeat the closed area designation process. If the closed region designation has been completed for all the line drawing characters LW, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S <b> 5, the coloring unit 172 colors the plurality of closed regions of the line drawing character LW with the colors set for the region specifying points RP of the plurality of closed region specifying pointers HP without requiring an operator's operation. Execute the process.

  As described above, the region designating apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 operates as in the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, so that it is possible to easily designate the closed region where the character represented by the line drawing should be colored. It becomes.

  In the area designating apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1, the operator operates the input unit 13 to specify a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW by operating the plurality of closed area specification pointers HP. The technology for making designations does not stop there.

  The feature part registration unit 1172 registers the shape of the feature part TP, which is a characteristic part that identifies the line drawing character designated by the feature part designation window TW. In order to search the line drawing character LW based on the feature portion TP from the line drawing data LW in a process described later, the operator operates the input unit 113 to display the feature portion TP displayed on the display unit 112 in the feature portion designation window TW. specify. The feature portion registration unit 1172 registers the shape of the feature portion TP in order to use the designated feature portion TP for the subsequent search for the line drawing character LW.

  The feature portion search unit 1173 searches the line drawing data LW for a characteristic portion of the line drawing character LW having the same shape as the feature portion TP registered by the feature portion registration unit 1172. Using the registered shape of the feature portion TP as a template, the feature portion search unit 1173 searches for a characteristic portion of the line drawing character LW whose shape matches the template.

  Alternatively, the search by the feature portion search unit 1173 may employ other known techniques related to image search.

  In addition, the feature portion search unit 1173 moves the multiple closed region designation pointer HP so that the registered feature portion TP and the searched feature portion of the line drawing character LW coincide with each other in a process described later. A partial scaling unit 11731 and a characteristic partial rotation unit 11732 are provided.

  If the registered feature portion TP and the searched feature portion of the line drawing character LW match the shape but the size does not match, the feature portion scaling unit 11731 Scale the size to match the size of the retrieved characteristic part. The scaling factor when the feature portion scaling unit 11731 has scaled so as to match the size of the feature portion searched for with the feature portion TP is used for processing in the feature portion designation window scaling unit 11741 described later. The

  If the registered feature portion TP and the searched characteristic portion of the line drawing character LW match the shape but the arrangement angle does not match, the feature portion rotation unit 11732 The size is rotated to match the arrangement angle of the searched characteristic part. The angle when the feature portion rotation unit 11732 is rotated so as to match the size of the feature portion searched for with the feature portion TP is used for processing in the feature portion designation window rotation unit 11742 described later.

  The multiple closed region designation pointer moving unit 1174 moves the multiple closed region designation pointer HP so that the feature portion designation window TW is positioned at the characteristic part of the line drawing character LW searched by the feature portion search unit 1173. The multiple closed region designation pointer moving unit 1174 moves the multiple closed region designation pointer HP so that the registered feature portion TP matches the searched characteristic portion of the line drawing character LW, thereby causing the line drawing character LW to move. It is possible to specify a plurality of closed areas to be configured.

  The multiple closed region designation pointer moving unit 1174 moves the multiple closed region designation pointer HP so that the registered feature portion TP matches the searched characteristic portion of the line drawing character LW. A designated pointer scaling unit 11741 and a multiple closed region designation pointer rotation unit 11742 are provided.

  The multiple closed region designation pointer scaling unit 11741 scales the multiple closed region designation pointer HP at the scaling factor obtained by the feature partial scaling unit 11731. As a result, the plurality of closed region designation pointer moving unit 1174 can move the plurality of closed region designation pointers HP so that the registered feature portion TP matches the searched characteristic portion of the line drawing character LW. Become.

  The multiple closed region designation pointer rotation unit 11742 rotates the multiple closed region designation pointer HP at an angle obtained by the feature portion rotation unit 11732. As a result, the plurality of closed region designation pointer moving unit 1174 can move the plurality of closed region designation pointers HP so that the registered feature portion TP matches the searched characteristic portion of the line drawing character LW. Become.

  The multiple closed area designation unit 1175 designates the closed area where the multiple area designation points RP included in the multiple closed area designation pointer HP moved by the multiple closed area designation pointer 1174 are located. Specifies multiple closed areas that make up the represented character.

  In addition to the advantage that a plurality of closed areas can be specified at a time, the plurality of closed areas specified by the plurality of closed areas specifying unit 1175 specify the closed area around the characteristic part that identifies the character, so that it is surely desired. A plurality of closed areas constituting the character can be designated. In addition, since a characteristic part of the line drawing character LW is searched based on the characteristic part TP and a plurality of closed areas are designated by the plural closed area designation pointer HP, it is efficient without requiring any special operation by the operator. A plurality of closed areas can be specified for.

  The coloring unit 1176 performs coloring processing on the plurality of closed regions designated by the plurality of closed region designation units 1175. Various well-known methods can be used for the coloring process for the closed region of the line drawing. Also, even if the area designated by the plural closed area designation pointer HP is visually a closed area, if there is a line break or the like and it is not actually a closed area, a line joining process or the like is executed to close the area. The process may be executed.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the line drawing processing apparatus 10.

  The operations of steps S101 and S102 are the same as steps S1 and S2 in the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S103, the feature portion registration unit 1172 registers the feature portion TP used when setting the feature portion designation window TW in S102. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an operation when the feature portion registration unit 1172 registers the feature portion TP after setting the feature portion designation window TW.

  FIG. 10A is a diagram for illustrating a state in which the feature portion designation window TW is set in step S <b> 102, and the feature portion designation window TW and the feature portion TP are displayed on the display unit 112. The operator operates the input unit 113 to execute the function of the feature part registration unit 1172 in order to execute the registration operation for the feature part TP displayed as shown in FIG.

  The feature portion registration unit 1172 deletes an extra line drawing in the feature portion designation window TW in order to register the feature portion TP based on the operation of the operator. The extra line drawing is a line drawing that may cause noise when searching for another line drawing character LW by the feature portion TP in a process described later.

  As shown in the drawing, when setting the feature portion designation window TW, the feature portion TP is the bow tie portion of the line drawing character LW. What is required as the feature portion TP is a line drawing related to the shape of the bow tie, and no other line drawing is required. Therefore, the feature portion registration unit 1172 deletes an extra line drawing.

  FIG. 10B is a diagram showing the feature portion TP registered by the feature portion registration unit 1172. As shown in the drawing, elements other than the line drawing for indicating the bow tie required as the feature portion TP are deleted. The feature portion registration unit 1172 registers the shape of the feature portion TP after performing such processing.

  FIG. 10C is a diagram for illustrating the structure of registration data related to the feature part TP registered by the feature part registration unit 1172. The registration data stores a feature part registration ID “ID”, a feature part size “size”, and feature part actual data “DD”.

  The feature part registration ID is an identification number for identifying each of the registered feature parts TP when a plurality of feature parts TP are registered.

  The feature part size stores the size of the feature part TP. As the feature portion size, for example, the circumscribed rectangle size of the feature portion TP is stored.

  The feature portion actual data is data indicating the shape of the feature portion TP, and stores data indicating the shape of the feature portion TP, such as a bitmap format, a run length format, a vector format, etc. Used for pattern matching in searches.

  Returning to FIG. 9, in step S104, the feature portion search unit 1173 searches for a characteristic portion that identifies the line drawing character LW that matches the feature portion TP registered in step S103. The feature portion search unit 1173 performs an image search for the line drawing data LW using a method such as template matching using the registered shape of the feature portion TP as a template.

  In step S105, it is determined whether or not a characteristic part that identifies the line drawing character LW that matches the characteristic part TP is found as a result of the search by the characteristic part search unit 1173. If the characteristic part search unit 1173 finds a characteristic part that identifies the line drawing character LW that matches the characteristic part TP, the process proceeds to step S108. If not found, the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S106, as a result of the search by the feature portion search unit 1173, it is determined whether or not a characteristic portion specifying the line drawing character LW that matches the feature portion TP has been found if the magnification has been changed. When the characteristic part searching unit 1173 finds a characteristic part that identifies the line drawing character LW that matches the shape of the characteristic part TP but does not match the characteristic part TP in size, the characteristic part scaling unit 11731 performs scaling processing on the feature portion TP. As a result of performing the scaling process by the feature part scaling unit 11731, if the feature part search unit 1173 matches the feature part TP and the characteristic part specifying the line drawing character LW, the feature part scaling unit 11731 The scaling factor MG performed on the feature portion TP is stored, and the process proceeds to step S108. If they do not match, the process proceeds to step S107.

  In step S107, it is determined whether or not a characteristic part that identifies the line drawing character LW that matches the characteristic part TP has been found as a result of the search by the characteristic part search unit 1173 if rotated. When the characteristic part search unit 1173 finds a characteristic part that identifies the line drawing character LW that matches the shape of the characteristic part TP but does not match the characteristic part TP in terms of the rotation angle, the characteristic part rotation unit 11732 performs a rotation process on the feature portion TP. As a result of performing the rotation process by the feature portion rotation unit 11732, if the feature portion search unit 1173 matches the feature portion TP and the characteristic portion that identifies the line drawing character LW, the feature portion rotation unit 11732 displays the feature portion TP. The angle of rotation AN performed on is stored, and the process proceeds to step S108. If they do not match, the process returns to step S104 and the search process is repeated.

  In addition, although demonstrated so that step S106 and step S107 might be performed sequentially, you may change the order of the process of the process of step S106, and the process of step S107. Further, the process of step S106 and the process of step S107 may be performed simultaneously.

  In step S108, the plurality of closed region designation pointer HP is identified by the plural closed region designation pointer moving unit 1174 as a characteristic part that identifies the line drawing character LW having a shape that matches the characteristic part TP, which is found by the processing in steps S105 to 107. , And a plurality of closed region designating units 1175 designate a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LW. The designation of a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LW in step S108 is also basically performed as shown in FIG.

  Moreover, various applications as shown in FIG. 11 are possible for designating a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LW by the plural closed area designation pointer HP.

  11A and 11B show a line drawing character LWb having a larger size than the line drawing character LW of FIG. 4 used for setting the multiple closed region designation pointer HP in step S102, and a line drawing having a smaller size than the line drawing character LW. It is a figure for demonstrating the several closed area designation | designated by the multiple closed area designation | designated pointer HP with respect to character LWs.

  As shown in the figure, the size of the multiple closed area designation pointer HP is changed in order to designate a closed area constituting the line drawing character LWb having a larger size than the line drawing character LW used for the setting. To change the size of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP, the multiple closed region designation pointer scaling unit 11741 enlarges the multiple closed region designation pointer HP using the scaling factor MG stored in the feature partial scaling unit 11731.

  On the other hand, when a closed area constituting the line drawing character LWs having a smaller size than the line drawing character LW used for setting is designated, a scaling factor MG stored in the feature portion scaling unit 11731 is used to change the plural closed area designation pointers. The multiplication unit 11741 reduces the multiple closed region designation pointer HP.

  Therefore, even if a plurality of line drawing characters LW appearing in the manga production appear in different sizes, the line drawing processing apparatus 10 can easily specify a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LW. .

  FIG. 11C shows a plurality of closed regions by the multiple closed region designation pointer HP for the line drawing character LWr in the state where the line drawing character LW of FIG. 4 used for setting the multiple closed region designation pointer HP in step S102 is rotated. It is a figure for demonstrating designation | designated.

  As shown in the figure, the angle of the multiple closed area designation pointer HP is changed in order to designate a closed area constituting the line drawing character LWr in which the line drawing character LW used for setting is rotated at a predetermined angle. To change the size of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP, the multiple closed region designation pointer rotation unit 11742 rotates the multiple closed region designation pointer HP while maintaining the aspect ratio using the angle AN stored in the feature portion rotation unit 11732. .

  In this way, even if a plurality of line drawing characters LW appearing in the manga production are rotated when they appear, the line drawing processing apparatus 10 can easily specify a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LW. it can.

  FIG. 11D illustrates a case where a plurality of closed areas are designated by the multiple closed area designation pointer HP with respect to the line drawing character LWy in which the line drawing character LW of FIG. 4 used for setting the multiple closed area designation pointer HP in step S102 is represented horizontally. It is a figure for demonstrating area | region designation | designated.

  As shown in the figure, when the line drawing character LW used for the setting is expressed sideways, the manga character is often expressed differently from the actual human body. In the case of FIG. 11D, the face of the line drawing character LWy faces sideways, but the body expression does not differ greatly from the expression of the line drawing character LW at the time of setting. In particular, since there is no change in the expression about the feature portion TP, in such a case, a plurality of closed areas can be designated even for the line drawing character LWy by the plural closed area designation pointer HP.

  Therefore, even if a plurality of line drawing characters LW appearing in the manga production are expressed slightly differently, the line drawing processing apparatus 10 can easily specify a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LW. it can.

  In the description of FIG. 11, the individual operations are described for the plurality of closed region designations by the plurality of closed region designation pointers HP. However, these operations may be performed simultaneously.

  In step S109, it is determined whether or not the closed region has been designated for all the line drawing characters LW in the line drawing data LD. If the closed area is not designated for all the line drawing characters LW, the process returns to step S104 and the search process based on the feature portion TP is repeated. If the closed region designation has been completed for all the line drawing characters LW, the process proceeds to step S110.

  In step S110, the coloring unit 1176 colors the plurality of closed regions of the line drawing character LW with the colors set to the region specifying points RP of the plurality of closed region specifying pointers HP without requiring an operator's operation. Execute the process.

  As described above, the line drawing processing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 8 operates like the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, so that it is possible to easily specify the closed region where the character represented by the line drawing should be colored. It becomes.

  Modification 1 In the above description, the multiple closed region designation pointer HP has been described so that there is only one in order to simplify the description. However, the line drawing character LW represented in the line drawing data LD has been described. A plurality of closed region designation pointers HP may be prepared for the number.

  In this case, since the operator can easily execute the coloring process for the plurality of line drawing characters LW, the work efficiency is further improved.

  Modified example 2: In the description so far, the configuration of the plurality of closed region designation pointers HP has been described in which the feature portion designation window TW and the plurality of region designation points RP are arranged on a straight line. The configuration of the closed region designation pointer HP is not limited to the above.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for illustrating another example of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP. FIG. 12A is a diagram showing a plurality of closed region designation pointers HP1 in which a plurality of region designation points RP are radially positioned with respect to the feature portion designation window TW. The multiple closed area designation pointer HP1 shown in FIG. 12A is suitable for designating a plurality of closed areas constituting the line drawing character LWd1 shown in FIG. 12B, for example.

  FIG. 12C is a diagram for showing a plurality of closed region designation pointers HP2 in which a plurality of region designation points RP are deviated in one direction with respect to the feature portion designation window TW. The multiple closed region designation pointer HP2 shown in FIG. 12C is suitable for designating a plurality of closed regions constituting the line drawing character LWd2 shown in FIG.

  As described above, the multiple closed region designation pointer HP can have a configuration desired by the operator, so that the coloring process for the line drawing character LW can be easily performed.

  Modified example 3: In the description so far, a plurality of region designation points RP of the plurality of closed region designation pointers HP have been described as points. However, a line drawing is performed with a region centered on the region designation point RP as a region designation figure RF. You may make it designate the some closed region which comprises the character LW.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a plurality of closed region designation pointers HP3 having a plurality of region designation figures RF instead of the plurality of region designation points RP.

  FIG. 13A is a diagram for showing a plurality of closed region designation pointers HP3 having a plurality of region designation figures RF. As shown in the figure, the multiple closed region designation pointer HP3 includes a feature portion designation window TW and region designation figures RF1, RF2, and RF3 arranged at predetermined positions. The area designating figures RF1, RF2, and RF3 are circular figures centered on the area designating points RP1, RP2, and RP3, respectively, and an area overlapping the area designating figure RF is designated as a closed area for coloring. Is possible.

FIG. 13B shows the data structure of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP3 set by the feature portion designation window setting unit 1711 (or 11711) and the region designation point setting unit 1712 (or 11712). The feature portion designation window TW and the setting of the plurality of region designation points RP are the same as the structure of the multiple closed region designation pointer HP shown in FIG. 5, but the multiple closed region designation pointer HP3 shown in FIG. In the data structure, the area designation figure RF is set. That is, “circle” is set as the area designating figure RF, and the radius “r” is also set. Here, 5 (mm) is set for the radius “r”. As for the unit of the radius “r”, other units such as pixels and Q may be used in addition to mm.
In addition, the figure used as the area specifying figure RF may be a figure such as an ellipse or a rectangle other than a circle.
Further, although the area designating figures RF1, RF2, and RF3 have been described as having a constant size, the area designating figures RF may be of different sizes.

  The multiple closed region designation unit 171 or the multiple closed region designation pointer display unit 1171 displays the multiple closed region designation pointer HP3 shown in FIG. 13A based on the data structure shown in FIG. The closed region constituting the line drawing character LW is designated. FIG. 13C is a diagram for showing the designation of the closed area constituting the line drawing character LWx by the plural closed area designation pointer HP3.

  As shown in the drawing, since the area designation point RP is out of the closed area constituting the line drawing character LWx, the multiple closed area designation pointer HP as shown in FIG. 3 designates the closed area constituting the line drawing character LWx. It is not possible. However, when the multiple closed area designation pointer HP3 is used, a part of the area designation figure RF overlaps with the closed area of the line drawing character LWx, so that the closed area to be colored can be designated.

  As described above, the multiple closed region designation pointer HP can have a configuration desired by the operator, so that the coloring process for the line drawing character LW can be easily performed.
