cues. The exploration of such innate properties of human sketches has, however, been …

Picture that sketch: Photorealistic image generation from abstract sketches

S Koley, AK Bhunia, A Sain… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Given an abstract, deformed, ordinary sketch from untrained amateurs like you and me, this

Sketching without worrying: Noise-tolerant sketch-based image retrieval

AK Bhunia, S Koley, AFUR Khilji… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Sketching enables many exciting applications, notably, image retrieval. The fear-to-sketch
problem (ie," I can't sketch") has however proven to be fatal for its widespread adoption. This …

Sketch2Saliency: learning to detect salient objects from human drawings

AK Bhunia, S Koley, A Kumar, A Sain… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Human sketch has already proved its worth in various visual understanding tasks (eg,
retrieval, segmentation, image-captioning, etc). In this paper, we reveal a new trait of …

Exploiting unlabelled photos for stronger fine-grained SBIR

A Sain, AK Bhunia, S Koley… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - openaccess.thecvf.com
This paper advances the fine-grained sketch-based image retrieval (FG-SBIR) literature by
putting forward a strong baseline that overshoots prior state-of-the art by 11%. This is not via …

Stylemeup: Towards style-agnostic sketch-based image retrieval

A Sain, AK Bhunia, Y Yang, T Xiang… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) is a cross-modal matching problem which is typically
solved by learning a joint embedding space where the semantic content shared between …

More photos are all you need: Semi-supervised learning for fine-grained sketch based image retrieval

AK Bhunia, PN Chowdhury, A Sain… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - openaccess.thecvf.com
A fundamental challenge faced by existing Fine-Grained Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (FG-
SBIR) models is the data scarcity--model performances are largely bottlenecked by the lack …

Sketch3t: Test-time training for zero-shot sbir

A Sain, AK Bhunia, V Potlapalli… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval typically asks for a trained model to be applied as is
to unseen categories. In this paper, we question to argue that this setup by definition is not …
