A geometric analysis of the stroke contours, and their closing by splines/segments, and 2. A colorization step based on the filling of the corresponding connected components, either with random colors or by extrapolating user-defined color scribbles. Our processing technique performs image colorization with a similar quality as previous state of the arts algorithms, while having a lower algorithmic complexity, leading to more possible user interactivity.Computing methodologiesImage processingNonphotorealistic renderingShape analysisA Fast and Efficient Semi-guided Algorithm for Flat Coloring Line-arts10.2312/vmv.201812471-9
