• Abstract summary: We propose an encoder-decoder based network to conduct sketch-guided outpainting. We apply a holistic alignment module to make the synthesized part be similar to the real one from the global view. Second, we reversely produce the sketches from the synthesized part and encourage them be consistent with the ground-truth ones.

• Abstract: The outpainting results produced by existing approaches are often too random to meet users' requirement. In this work, we take the image outpainting one step forward by allowing users to harvest personal custom outpainting results using sketches as the guidance. To this end, we propose an encoder-decoder based network to conduct sketch-guided outpainting, where two alignment modules are adopted to impose the generated content to be realistic and consistent with the provided sketches. First, we apply a holistic alignment module to make the synthesized part be similar to the real one from the global view. Second, we reversely produce the sketches from the synthesized part and encourage them be consistent with the ground-truth ones using a sketch alignment module. In this way, the learned generator will be imposed to pay more attention to fine details and be sensitive to the guiding sketches. To our knowledge, this work is the first attempt to explore the challenging yet meaningful conditional scenery image outpainting. We conduct extensive experiments on two collected benchmarks to qualitatively and quantitatively validate the effectiveness of our approach compared with the other state-of-the-art generative models.

• Sketch-guided Image Inpainting with Partial Discrete Diffusion Process [5.005162730122933]
  We introduce a novel partial discrete diffusion process (PDDP) for sketch-guided inpainting. PDDP corrupts the masked regions of the image and reconstructs these masked regions conditioned on hand-drawn sketches. The proposed novel transformer module accepts two inputs -- the image containing the masked region to be inpainted and the query sketch to model the reverse diffusion process.

  We propose a two-stage image inpainting method termed SketchRefiner. In the first stage, we propose using a cross-correlation loss function to robustly calibrate and refine the user-provided sketches. In the second stage, we learn to extract informative features from the abstracted sketches in the feature space and modulate the inpainting process.

  We study how sketches can be used as a weak label to detect salient objects present in an image. To accomplish this, we introduce a photo-to-sketch generation model that aims to generate sequential sketch coordinates corresponding to a given visual photo. Tests prove our hypothesis and delineate how our sketch-based saliency detection model gives a competitive performance compared to the state-of-the-art.

  We study the exemplar-based sketch-to-image (s2i) synthesis task in a self-supervised learning manner. We first propose an unsupervised method to efficiently synthesize line-sketches for general RGB-only datasets. We then present a self-supervised Auto-Encoder (AE) to decouple the content/style features from sketches and RGB-images, and synthesize images that are both content-faithful to the sketches and style-consistent to the RGB-images.
