Apparatus for Automatic Coloring of Animation Characters Based on Character Gender, Age, and Background Color Temperature

This technology is an electronic device that identifies characters in animation frames to determine their gender and age, analyzes the brightness and color temperature of background colors to establish an allowable color range for character shading, and generates a user interface that suggests colors within that range.

Animation requires coloring characters and backgrounds frame by frame, which remains labor-intensive and time-consuming even with electronic devices. In particular, the effort required for coloring increases exponentially when character colors must be adjusted to match the lighting or mood of different scenes.

This technology automatically adjusts the allowable ranges for lightness, redness, and yellowness based on the average brightness and color temperature of the background, helping to apply skin and clothing colors that harmonize with the scene's mood. As background color properties change, the allowable ranges are updated, ensuring color consistency across frames. Applicable to animation and webtoon production software as well as game character graphics tools, it reduces labor and production time while achieving natural character coloring in every scene.

Key Features:
  • A character management unit that identifies characters from animation frames and determines their gender and age information
  • A background management unit that identifies property information for one or more colors used in the background of the frame
  • A color determination unit that establishes a first allowable range based on gender and age, and a second allowable range based on background color properties
  • A color determination unit that adjusts the allowable ranges for lightness, redness, and yellowness according to preset criteria based on the average brightness and color temperature threshold of background colors
