• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a sketch generating system with an assistant convolutional neural network (CNN) predictor to suggest the shape of the next stroke. A CNN-based discriminator is introduced to judge the recognizability of the end product. Because the image of a cat is easy to identify, we consider cat sketches selected from the QuickDraw data set.

• Abstract: With the involvement of artificial intelligence (AI), sketches can be automatically generated under certain topics. Even though breakthroughs have been made in previous studies in this area, a relatively high proportion of the generated figures are too abstract to recognize, which illustrates that AIs fail to learn the general pattern of the target object when drawing. This paper posits that supervising the process of stroke generation can lead to a more accurate sketch interpretation. Based on that, a sketch generating system with an assistant convolutional neural network (CNN) predictor to suggest the shape of the next stroke is presented in this paper. In addition, a CNN-based discriminator is introduced to judge the recognizability of the end product. Since the base-line model is ineffective at generating multi-class sketches, we restrict the model to produce one category. Because the image of a cat is easy to identify, we consider cat sketches selected from the QuickDraw data set. This paper compares the proposed model with the original Sketch-RNN on 75K human-drawn cat sketches. The result indicates that our model produces sketches with higher quality than human's sketches.

  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 present B'ezierSketch, a novel generative model for fully vector sketches that are automatically scalable and high-resolution. We first introduce a novel inverse graphics approach to stroke embedding that trains an encoder to embed each stroke to its best fit B'ezier curve. This enables us to treat sketches as short sequences of paramaterized strokes and thus train a recurrent sketch generator with greater capacity for longer sketches.
