Area of Science:

Computer Graphics
Animation
Digital Art

Background:

Computer-assisted methods are crucial for modern animation and illustration.
Reducing the workload for artists in 2D cartoon creation is an ongoing challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a new method for illumination and colorization of 2D drawings.
To leverage a region-tree representation for efficient processing of cartoon elements.

Main Methods:

Extraction of geometric and topological information from hand-drawn cartoons.
Construction of a region-tree structure for independent part processing.
Development of a frame-propagating colorization method and normal mapping interpolation for illumination.

Main Results:

The proposed method enables efficient illumination and colorization of 2D drawings.
The region-tree representation ensures independence among drawing components.
Independent operators allow for diverse rendering effects.

Conclusions:

The new method effectively automates illumination and colorization in 2D animation.
The region-tree approach enhances control and flexibility in the rendering process.
This technique significantly aids artists by streamlining the animation workflow.
