Towards the automatic monitoring of deforestation in Brazilian rainforest

L Bragagnolo, RV da Silva, JMV Grzybowski - Ecological Informatics, 2021 - Elsevier
Deforestation is considered one of the main environmental threats to the ecological balance
on the planet. At the same time, monitoring changes in forest cover is a major challenge …

Sketch-to-image synthesis via semantic masks

SS Baraheem, TV Nguyen - Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2024 - Springer
Sketch-to-image is an important task to reduce the burden of creating a color image from
scratch. Unlike previous sketch-to-image models, where the image is synthesized in an end …

Effective 2D Stroke-based Gesture Augmentation for RNNs

M Maslych, EM Taranta, M Aldilati… - Proceedings of the 2023 …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Recurrent neural networks (RNN) require large training datasets from which they learn new

A survey on sketch based content creation: from the desktop to virtual and augmented reality

S Bhattacharjee, P Chaudhuri - Computer Graphics Forum, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Sketching is one of the most natural ways for representing any object pictorially. It is
however, challenging to convert sketches to 3D content that is suitable for various …

Video sketch: A middle-level representation for action recognition

XY Zhang, YP Huang, Y Mi, YT Pei, Q Zou, S Wang - Applied Intelligence, 2021 - Springer
Different modalities extracted from videos, such as RGB and optical flows, may provide
complementary cues for improving video action recognition. In this paper, we introduce a …

Differentiable drawing and sketching

D Mihai, J Hare - arXiv preprint arXiv:2103.16194, 2021 - arxiv.org
We present a bottom-up differentiable relaxation of the process of drawing points, lines and
curves into a pixel raster. Our approach arises from the observation that rasterising a pixel in …

SceneSketcher-v2: Fine-grained scene-level sketch-based image retrieval using adaptive GCNs

Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) is a long-standing research topic in computer vision.
Existing methods mainly focus on category-level or instance-level image retrieval. This …

Reference based sketch extraction via attention mechanism

A Ashtari, CW Seo, C Kang, S Cha, J Noh - ACM Transactions on …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We propose a model that extracts a sketch from a colorized image in such a way that the
extracted sketch has a line style similar to a given reference sketch while preserving the …
