The lab studies the act of drawing through information science and applies the findings to image processing and computer graphics.

AboutAbout the lab
Drawing is seeing something and expressing it.
The Saito Lab studies the act of drawing using methods from information science.
It investigates how people express what they see, and the processing that people carry out when they do so.
The lab aims to apply its findings to image processing and computer graphics.
Its work includes analysis of cel animation footage and animation production tools, image editing and color conversion, and line drawing generation.
