漫画是日本漫画书的一种，是图像出版物中需要版权保护的重要类型。为了复制漫画，非法用户通常会专注于某些有趣的部分，从中制作部分副本以应用于自己的绘画中。漫画的复制从来源上可以分为两种：（1）完全复制，即复制漫画的特定内容，如漫画出版物的扫描件（印刷本）和漫画的轮廓线（手绘本）;（2）相似的部分复制，即根据漫画人物的特征侵犯漫画人物的著作权。在本文中，我们提出了应用基于内容的图像检索方法来检测两种类型的感兴趣区域（ROI）的基础上精确和相似的副本：通用ROI和人脸ROI。该方法不仅能够从复杂背景的图像中定位部分副本，而且能够报告版权漫画页面的相应复制部分以进行精确的副本检测，并报告复制漫画角色以进行类似的副本检测。实验结果表明，该方法对印刷部分副本的检测具有较高的性能。此外，85%的手绘和77%的相似的部分副本检测精度相对较高的数据库包含超过漫画页。
Manga, a kind of Japanese comic book, is an important genre in the realm of image publications requiring copyright protection. To copy manga, illegal users generally focus on certain interesting parts from which to make partial copies to apply in their own drawings. With respect to their sources, copying of manga can be divided into two types: (1) exact copies, which duplicate specific contents of manga, such as scanned manga publications (printed copies) and traced outlines of manga (hand-drawn copies), and (2) similar partial copies, which infringe the copyright of manga characters based on their features. In this paper, we propose applying content-based image retrieval methods to detect both exact and similar copies based on two kinds of regions of interest (ROIs): generic ROIs and face ROIs. The method is able not only to locate the partial copies from images with complex backgrounds, but also to report the corresponding copied parts of copyrighted manga pages for exact copy detection and copied manga characters for similar copy detection. The experimental results prove high performance of the proposed method for detecting printed partial copies. In addition, 85 % of hand-drawn and 77 % of similar partial copies were detected with relatively high precision using a database containing more thanmanga pages.
