Computer Graphics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A computer graphics lab that develops ways of expressing pictures and video on a computer.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring illustration and video expression with CG.
The Computer Graphics Lab researches illustration and anime-style expression, among other topics, in the field of computer graphics.
Its papers from the past few years deal with projection mapping onto plants and animals, 3D modeling of hair from hand-drawn contour lines, and coloring of line drawings of anime characters.
The lab presents its research at venues such as NICOGRAPH International of the Society for Art and Science.
Key terms
- Projection mapping
- A technique of projecting images to match the shape of an object. The targets range from buildings to fish
- Hair card
- A model that represents a bundle of hair in 3D hairstyle creation. The lab works on a method of generating it from hand-drawn contour lines
- Line drawing
- A picture drawn only with outlines, before color is applied. Research on coloring adds color to it

In the field of computer graphics, the lab studies methods for creating illustration and anime-style expression, among other topics. Its papers from the past few years deal with projecting images onto plants and animals, hair modeling, and coloring of line drawings.
*Illustrative imageProjecting Images onto Plants and Animals
This is research on projection mapping, which overlays and displays images on targets that move and change shape, such as leaves. It proposes a method that selects and tracks many leaves as projection areas and aligns the image automatically.
*Illustrative image3D Hair Models Created by Hand Drawing
The lab proposes a system that generates hair cards, which represent hair bundles, from contour lines at both edges of a hair bundle drawn by hand on a 3D canvas. It demonstrates the usefulness of operations like drawing on paper through result images and an experiment with participants.
*Illustrative imageColoring Line Drawings of Anime-Style Characters
In a co-authored paper, the lab proposes a method that semi-automatically colors hand-drawn line drawings of characters, using a reference image as a color hint. Fine details of texture, such as in the eyes and hair, are transferred from the reference image to the line drawing.
