Abstract: This paper introduces and analyses the application of fundamental principles of image segmentation and matching to automatic painting of animation serial pictures, lists out an algorithm of segmentation and matching, submits a new idea about distribution function on basis of the Freeman chain code. We have successfully realized the automatic painting in traditional cartoon animation with this new idea.

Key words: segmentation, matching, Freeman chain code, animation

摘要： 介绍和分析了图像区域分割和映射的基本原理在动画序列图自动着色中的应用，给出了分割和映射的具体算法，提出了基于8-链码的方向分布和方向变化分布函数的思想，并应用此思想成功地在计算机动画领域实现了自动着色的功能。
