With our approach, the manga-style layout of a comic page is achieved in a content-driven manner, and the main components, including panels and word balloons, that constitute a visually pleasing comic page are intelligently organized. Our approach extracts key frames on speakers by using a speaker detection technique such that word balloons can be placed near the corresponding speakers. We qualitatively measure the information contained in a comic page. With the initial layout automatically determined, the final comic page is obtained by maximizing such a measure and optimizing the parameters relating to the optimal display of comics. An efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling algorithm is designed for the optimization. Our user study demonstrates that users much prefer our manga-style comics to purely Western style comics. Extensive experiments and comparisons against previous work also verify the effectiveness of our approach.  \nIndex Terms—Comics, layout optimization, video presentation.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nC OMICS, as a popular art form, are graphical media used to  \nconcisely express ideas via visual information combined with textual information. Nowadays, comics are widely used in newspapers, magazines, and graphic novels. Fig. 1 shows several representative comic pages. Although from different countries, these comic pages still exhibit certain common styles, such as: 1) simple layout structure and spatial arrangement of panels, which make comics easy-to-read; 2) few complex structures, thereby enhancing visual richness; and 3) non-casual placement of word balloons, meaning that word balloons should be placedon less important regions so as not to occlude salient objects. Fig. 1 also shows an example of Japanese comics (manga, on the right) . Different from the traditional Western comics, which are more rigid and grid-based, artists typically stylize the layout of  \nManuscript received October 02, 2014; revised February 07, 2015, May 14, 2015, and July 22, 2015; accepted August 25, 2015 .
