We advance sketch research to scenes with the first dataset of freehand scene sketches, FS-
COCO. With practical applications in mind, we collect sketches that convey scene content …

Humans show high-level of abstraction capabilities in games that require quickly
communicating object information. They decompose the message content into multiple parts …

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 …

In this paper, we tackle for the first time, the problem of self-supervised representation
learning for free-hand sketches. This importantly addresses a common problem faced by the …

We contribute the rst large-scale dataset of scene sketches, SketchyScene, with the goal of
advancing research on sketch understanding at both the object and scene level. The dataset …

Previous researches of sketches often considered sketches in pixel format and leveraged
CNN based models in the sketch understanding. Fundamentally, a sketch is stored as a …

Free-hand sketches are highly illustrative, and have been widely used by humans to depict
objects or stories from ancient times to the present. The recent prevalence of touchscreen …

We propose SketchINR to advance the representation of vector sketches with implicit neural
models. A variable length vector sketch is compressed into a latent space of fixed dimension …

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 …

What makes free-hand sketches appealing for humans lies with its capability as a universal
tool to depict the visual world. Such flexibility at human ease, however, introduces abstract …
