Automatic E-Comic Content Adaptation

Reading digital comic on mobile phone is demanding now. Instead of create a new mobile comic contents, adaptation of the existing digital comic web portal is valuable. In this paper, we proposed an automatic e-comic mobile content adaptation method for automatically create mobile comic content from existing digital comic website portal. Automatic e-comic content adaptation is based on our comic frame extraction method combine with additional process to extract comic balloon and text from digital comic page. The proposed method work as a content adaptation intermediary proxy server application, while generating a Comic XML file as an input source for mobile phone to render a specific mobile comic contents. Our proposed method is an effective and efficient method for real time implementation of reading e-comic comparing to other methods. Experimental results show that our proposed method has 100% accuracy of flat comic frame extraction, 91.48% accuracy of non-flat comic frame extraction, and about 90% processing time faster than previous method.
