ToonCrafter excels in various applications, including the interpolation of cartoon sketches and reference-based sketch colorization. It employs sparse sketch guidance to generate intermediate frames, ensuring that the artistic style and motion remain consistent throughout the animation. Despite its strengths, the model has some limitations, such as difficulty in semantically understanding image contents and generating convincing transitions when objects appear or disappear.
Key Features of ToonCrafter:
- Smoothly fills in the gaps between cartoon frames for fluid animation.
- Uses minimal sketch input to guide the creation of intermediate frames.
- Supports single and dual-image references for coloring sketches.
- Maintains the artistic style and motion consistency in animations.
- Includes detailed analysis and comparisons with baseline methods.
