The s prites in real-world cartoons are unique: artists may draw arbitrary sprit e animations for expressiveness, where the animated content is often compl icated, irregular, and challenging; alternatively, artists may also reduce their workload by tweening and adjusting sprites, or even reuse static sp rites, in which case the transformations are relatively regular and simple . Based on these observations, we propose a sprite decomposition framework using Pixel Multilayer Perceptrons (Pixel MLPs) where the estimation of e ach sprite is conditioned on and guided by all other sprites. In this way, once those relatively regular and simple sprites are resolved, the decomp osition of the remaining ''challenging'' sprites can simplified and eased with the guidance of other sprites. We call this method ``sprite-from-spri te'' cartoon decomposition. We study ablative architectures of our framewo rk, and the user study demonstrates that our results are the most preferre d ones in 19/20 cases.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, ON-DEMAND AC CESS\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON, ON-DEMAND URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_165&sess=sess15 7 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
