Hair modeling from a single anime-style image.

Recently, research of modeling realistic hair from a real-life portrait image has achieved extraordinary results. Modeling cartoon hair from an anime-style image, in contrast, has not drawn much attention from researchers. Yeh et al. [2015] proposed a 2.5D approach which determines a layering order and estimates hidden portions of hair segments from an anime-style image. However, their results are only suitable for a single view angle. In this work, we propose a novel approach to model cartoon hair from an anime-style image which simulates an artist's workflow and has a broader range of view angles than the method proposed by Yeh et al. [2015].
