Manga content extraction method for automatic mobile comic content creation

Creating a digital Manga comic for mobile devices is chalenging because of the limitation of device´s screen size and time consuming of the process. In this paper, we proposed an efficient method for automatically creating mobile content of digital Manga comic from scanned of printed digital comic by extracting comic frame, comic balloon and Japanese character within a Manga comic then recompose it a new mobile content using ComicXML to store comic frame content information. Experimental results on Manga content extraction have 81.6% accuracy of non-flat comic page frame extraction, 100% accuracy of comic balloon detection, and about 93.75% accuracy of Japanese character text extraction.
