Augmented reality (AR) has proven to be an invaluable interactive medium to reduce
cognitive load by bridging the gap between the task-at-hand and relevant information by …

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 …

Given an abstract, deformed, ordinary sketch from untrained amateurs like you and me, this
paper turns it into a photorealistic image-just like those shown in Fig. 1 (a), all non-cherry …

Monocular 3D scene understanding tasks, such as object size estimation, heading angle
estimation and 3D localization, is challenging. Successful modern-day methods for 3D …

This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive study on facial-sketch synthesis (FSS).
However, due to the high cost of obtaining hand-drawn sketch datasets, there is a lack of a …

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 …

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 …

In this paper we propose a novel abstraction-aware sketch-based image retrieval framework
capable of handling sketch abstraction at varied levels. Prior works had mainly focused on …

Sketchformer is a novel transformer-based representation for encoding free-hand sketches
input in a vector form, ie as a sequence of strokes. Sketchformer effectively addresses …

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 …
