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 …

Sketch your own gan
