Overview of AnimeRun
AnimeRun is a correspondence dataset for 2D-styled cartoons, rendered from three open source movies: Agent 327, Caminandes 3: Llamigos and Sprite Fright. It provides colored frames and black-and-white contour lines of 2D cartoons and correspondence labels at pixel level (optical flow) and region level (segment matching). The data is designed to facilitate automatic processing on 2D animation, e.g., frame interpolation and referenced colorization.
