• Abstract summary: Sketchformer is a transformer-based representation for encoding free-hand sketches input in a vector form. We report several variants exploring continuous and tokenized input representations, and contrast their performance. Our learned embedding, driven by a dictionary learning tokenization scheme, yields state of the art performance in classification and image retrieval tasks.

• Abstract: Sketchformer is a novel transformer-based representation for encoding free-hand sketches input in a vector form, i.e. as a sequence of strokes. Sketchformer effectively addresses multiple tasks: sketch classification, sketch based image retrieval (SBIR), and the reconstruction and interpolation of sketches. We report several variants exploring continuous and tokenized input representations, and contrast their performance. Our learned embedding, driven by a dictionary learning tokenization scheme, yields state of the art performance in classification and image retrieval tasks, when compared against baseline representations driven by LSTM sequence to sequence architectures: SketchRNN and derivatives. We show that sketch reconstruction and interpolation are improved significantly by the Sketchformer embedding for complex sketches with longer stroke sequences.

  We introduce SwiftSketch, a model for image-conditioned vector sketch generation that can produce high-quality sketches in less than a second. SwiftSketch operates by progressively denoising stroke control points sampled from a Gaussian distribution. ControlSketch is a method that enhances SDS-based techniques by incorporating precise spatial control through a depth-aware ControlNet.

  We propose a variant-drawing-protected method for learning graphic sketch representation. Instead of injecting sketch drawings into graph edges, we embed these sequential information into graph nodes only. Experimental results indicate that our method significantly improves sketch healing and controllable sketch synthesis.

  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 that implicitly encodes the underlying shape as a function of time and strokes. For the first time, SketchINR emulates the human ability to reproduce a sketch with varying abstraction in terms of number and complexity of strokes.

  Humans show high-level of abstraction capabilities in games that require quickly communicating object information. We propose the Primitive-based Sketch Abstraction task where the goal is to represent sketches using a fixed set of drawing primitives. Our Primitive-Matching Network (PMN), learns interpretable abstractions of a sketch in a self supervised manner.

  This paper investigates a graph representation for sketches, where the information of strokes, i.e., parts of a sketch, are encoded on vertices and information of inter-stroke on edges. The resultant graph representation facilitates the training of a Graph Neural Networks for classification tasks. The proposed representation enables generation of novel sketches that are structurally similar to while separable from the existing dataset.

  Key challenge in designing a sketch representation lies with handling the abstract and iconic nature of sketches. We propose a lattice structured sketch representation that not only removes the bottleneck of requiring vector data but also preserves the structural cues that vector data provides. Our lattice representation could be effectively encoded using a graph model, that uses significantly fewer model parameters (13.5 times lesser) than existing state-of-the-art.

  We study the problem of multi-view sketch correspondence, where we take as input multiple freehand sketches with different views of the same object. This problem is challenging since the visual features of corresponding points at different views can be very different. We take a deep learning approach and learn a novel local sketch descriptor from data.
