Image synthesis: a review of methods, datasets, evaluation metrics, and future outlook

SS Baraheem, TN Le, TV Nguyen - Artificial Intelligence Review, 2023 - Springer
Image synthesis is a process of converting the input text, sketch, or other sources, ie, another
image or mask, into an image. It is an important problem in the computer vision field, where it …

The sketchy database: learning to retrieve badly drawn bunnies

P Sangkloy, N Burnell, C Ham, J Hays - ACM Transactions on Graphics …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
We present the Sketchy database, the first large-scale collection of sketch-photo pairs. We
ask crowd workers to sketch particular photographic objects sampled from 125 categories …

How do humans sketch objects?

M Eitz, J Hays, M Alexa - ACM Transactions on graphics (TOG), 2012 - dl.acm.org
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 …

Sketchygan: Towards diverse and realistic sketch to image synthesis

W Chen, J Hays - Proceedings of the IEEE conference on …, 2018 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Synthesizing realistic images from human drawn sketches is a challenging problem in

Sketch your own gan

SY Wang, D Bau, JY Zhu - Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF …, 2021 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Can a user create a deep generative model by sketching a single example? Traditionally,
creating a GAN model has required the collection of a large-scale dataset of exemplars and …

Deep image synthesis from intuitive user input: A review and perspectives

Y Xue, YC Guo, H Zhang, T Xu, SH Zhang… - Computational Visual …, 2022 - Springer
In many applications of computer graphics, art, and design, it is desirable for a user to
provide intuitive non-image input, such as text, sketch, stroke, graph, or layout, and have a …

Interactive sketch & fill: Multiclass sketch-to-image translation

A Ghosh, R Zhang, PK Dokania… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We propose an interactive GAN-based sketch-to-image translation method that helps novice
users easily create images of simple objects. The user starts with a sparse sketch and a …

Sketchycoco: Image generation from freehand scene sketches

C Gao, Q Liu, Q Xu, L Wang, J Liu… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We introduce the first method for automatic image generation from scene-level freehand
sketches. Our model allows for controllable image generation by specifying the synthesis …
