Iteratively refining and critiquing sketches are crucial steps to developing effective designs.
We introduce Scones, a mixed-initiative, machine-learning-driven system that enables users …

Sketching is an effective communication medium that augments and enhances what can be
communicated in text. We introduce Sketchforme, the first neural-network-based system that …

Sketching serves as a versatile tool for externalizing ideas, enabling rapid exploration and
visual communication that spans various disciplines. While artificial systems have driven …

Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) has shown remarkable progress in
generating realistic images. However, in this paper, we take a step" backward" and address …

Artist sketches often use multiple overdrawn strokes to depict a single intended curve.
Humans effortlessly mentally consolidate such sketches by detecting groups of overdrawn …

Even though trained mainly on images, we discover that pretrained diffusion models show
impressive power in guiding sketch synthesis. In this paper, we present DiffSketcher, an …

The key challenge in designing a sketch representation lies with handling the abstract and
iconic nature of sketches. Existing work predominantly utilizes either,(i) a pixelative format …

In this paper, we present a method for converting a given scene image into a sketch using
different types and multiple levels of abstraction. We distinguish between two types of …

We introduce a novel sketch-to-image tool that aligns with the iterative refinement process of
artists. Our tool lets users sketch blocking strokes to coarsely represent the placement and …

Abstraction is at the heart of sketching due to the simple and minimal nature of line
drawings. Abstraction entails identifying the essential visual properties of an object or scene …
