Image colorization, as an essential problem in computer vision (CV), has attracted an
increasing amount of researchers attention in recent years, especially deep learning-based …

In recent years, computer science has made major advances in understanding drawing
behavior. Artificial intelligence, and more precisely deep learning, has displayed …

While semantic segmentation has seen tremendous improvements in the past, there are still
significant labeling efforts necessary and the problem of limited generalization to classes …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Sketching is a powerful tool for creating abstract images that are sparse but meaningful.
Sketch understanding poses fundamental challenges for general-purpose vision algorithms …

In this paper we explore the unique modality of sketch for explainability emphasising the
profound impact of human strokes compared to conventional pixel-oriented studies. Beyond …

Product designers extensively use sketching to reason and communicate about 3D shapes,
as documented in popular design sketching textbooks [Eissen and Steur 2008, 2011; Pipes …

We scrutinise an important observation plaguing scene-level sketch research--that a
significant portion of scene sketches are" partial". A quick pilot study reveals:(i) a scene …
