A survey of comics research in computer science
Graphical novels such as comics and mangas are well known all over the world.
The digital transition started to change the way people are reading comics,
more and more on smartphones and tablets and less and less on paper. In the
recent years, a wide variety of research about comics has been proposed and
might change the way comics are created, distributed and read in future years.
Early work focuses on low level document image analysis: indeed comic books are
complex, they contains text, drawings, balloon, panels, onomatopoeia, etc.
Different fields of computer science covered research about user interaction
and content generation such as multimedia, artificial intelligence,
human-computer interaction, etc. with different sets of values. We propose in
this paper to review the previous research about comics in computer science, to
state what have been done and to give some insights about the main outlooks
Creative or Not? Birds and Ants Draw with Muscle
In this work, a novel approach of merging two swarm intelligence algorithms is considered ā one mimicking the behaviour of ants foraging (Stochastic Diffusion Search [5]) and the other algorithm simulating the behaviour of birds flocking (Particle Swarm Optimisation [17]). This hybrid algorithm is assisted by a mechanism inspired from the behaviour of skeletal muscles activated by motor neurons. The operation of the swarm intelligence algorithms is first introduced via metaphor before the new hybrid algorithm is defined. Next, the novel behaviour of the hybrid algorithm is reflected through a cooperative attempt to make a drawing, followed by a discussion about creativity in general and the ācomputational creativityā of the swarm
Creativity and Autonomy in Swarm Intelligence Systems
This work introduces two swarm intelligence algorithms -- one mimicking the behaviour of one species of ants (\emph{Leptothorax acervorum}) foraging (a `Stochastic Diffusion Search', SDS) and the other algorithm mimicking the behaviour of birds flocking (a `Particle Swarm Optimiser', PSO) -- and outlines a novel integration strategy exploiting the local search properties of the PSO with global SDS behaviour. The resulting hybrid algorithm is used to sketch novel drawings of an input image, exploliting an artistic tension between the local behaviour of the `birds flocking' - as they seek to follow the input sketch - and the global behaviour of the `ants foraging' - as they seek to encourage the flock to explore novel regions of the canvas. The paper concludes by exploring the putative `creativity' of this hybrid swarm system in the philosophical light of the `rhizome' and Deleuze's well known `Orchid and Wasp' metaphor
