Anime2Sketch: A sketch extractor for illustration, anime art, manga
I think I'm missing something. I get the Sketch-to-Photo synthesis that this is based on. It's really weird, neat stuff. But as a layman, I'm having trouble seeing the difference between the result of this anime-to-sketch synthesis and what I'd expect to get out of a simple edge detection. Is the difference that it's more clever about which details to ignore?
