Call for papers (PDF)
Comics is a medium constituted of images combined with text and other visual information in order to narrate a story.
Nowadays, comic books are a widespread cultural expression all over the world.
The market of comics continues to grow, for example, the market in Japan is about 4.25 billion USD in 2015.
Moreover, from the research point of view, comics images are attractive targets because the structure of a comics page includes various elements (such as panels, speech balloons, captions, leading characters, …), the drawing of which depends on the style of the author and presents a large variability.
Therefore comics image analysis is not a trivial problem and is still immature compared with other kinds of image analysis.
