Computational support for sketching is an exciting research area at the intersection of
design research, human–computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. Despite the …

Humans have used sketching to depict our visual world since prehistoric times. Even today,
sketching is possibly the only rendering technique readily available to all humans. This …

User interfaces in modeling have traditionally followed the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu,
Pointer) paradigm. Though functional and very powerful, they can also be cumbersome and …

We introduce an approach for sketch classification based on Fisher vectors that significantly
outperforms existing techniques. For the TU-Berlin sketch benchmark [Eitz et al. 2012a], our …

Sketching is a natural form of human communication and has become an increasingly
popular tool for interacting with user interfaces. In order to facilitate the integration of …

We have created and tested Tahuti, a dual-view sketch recognition environment for class
diagrams in UML. The system is based on a multi-layer recognition framework which …

We present SketchREAD, a multi-domain sketch recognition engine capable of recognizing
freely hand-drawn diagrammatic sketches. Current computer sketch recognition systems are …

Current sketch recognition systems treat sketches as images or a collection of strokes, rather
than viewing sketching as an interactive and incremental process. We show how viewing …

Abstract Sketch-Based Modeling (SBM) is a field of study that focuses on the automatic
creation of 3D models from freehand drawings. Today, two related branches coexist: one …

Multi-touch is a technology which offers new styles of interaction compared to traditional
input devices like keyboard and mouse. Users can quickly manipulate objects or execute …
