Abstract
Human faces are attractive and effective in everyday communication. Interest in research activities in photo to cartoon conversion and face caricatures have gradually increased over the recent years. In this research, a cartoon system is presented which can generate a customized cartoon from an input picture. We work on frontal face images, extract features and create exaggerated cartoon-like effects by emphasizing on the unique features and characteristics of input images. By transforming and exaggerating the unique features including lips, eyes, eyebrows and the addition of accessories (hair , ear etc.), different cartoon expressions and facial effects including happiness, sadness, anger, excitement, surprise etc., are generated and caricature is formed
