Abstract

The research on how to make a photo-based personalized facial sketch has important scientific significance and practical values. This paper proposes a method on how to generate a personalized sketch from digital color photo. First, the feature points are automatically extracted through Active Shape Model and the positions of these points are recorded; then, the style factor can be got from stylized samples. Finally, the personalized sketches will be generated through image warping. This method can be used in many applications such as caricature.
