• Title: The Role of Edges in Line Drawing Perception
• Authors: Aaron Hertzmann
• Abstract summary: It has often been conjectured that the effectiveness of line drawings can be explained by the similarity of edge images to line drawings. This paper presents several problems with explaining line drawing perception in terms of edges, and how the recently-proposed Realism Hypothesis of Hertzmann ( 2020) resolves these problems.

• Abstract: It has often been conjectured that the effectiveness of line drawings can be explained by the similarity of edge images to line drawings. This paper presents several problems with explaining line drawing perception in terms of edges, and how the recently-proposed Realism Hypothesis of Hertzmann (2020) resolves these problems. There is nonetheless existing evidence that edges are often the best features for predicting where people draw lines; this paper describes how the Realism Hypothesis can explain this evidence.

  Inbetweening involves generating intermediate frames between two black-and-white line drawings. Existing frame methods that rely on matching and warping whole images are unsuitable for line inbetweening. We propose AnimeInbet, which geometrizes geometric line drawings into endpoints and reframes the inbetweening task as a graph fusion problem. Our method can effectively capture the sparsity and unique structure of line drawings while preserving the details during inbetweening.

• Sketch2Saliency: Learning to Detect Salient Objects from Human Drawings [99.9788496281408]
  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.

• Learning to generate line drawings that convey geometry and semantics [22.932131011984513]
  This paper presents an unpaired method for creating line drawings from photographs. We observe that line drawings are encodings of scene information and seek to convey 3D shape and semantic meaning. We introduce a geometry loss which predicts depth information from the image features of a line drawing, and a semantic loss which matches the CLIP features of a line drawing with its corresponding photograph.

  We propose a methodology to evaluate the effect of distortions in explanations by embedding perceptual distances. We generate explanations for images in the Imagenet-C dataset and demonstrate how using a perceptual distances in the surrogate explainer creates more coherent explanations for the distorted and reference images.

  We tackle the problem of online road network extraction from sparse 3D point clouds. Our method is inspired by how annotator builds a lane graph, by first identifying how many lanes there are and then drawing each one in turn. We develop a hierarchical recurrent network that attends to initial regions of a lane boundary and traces them out completely by outputting a structured polyline.

In this paper, we design a novel network that is capable of cultivating sketch-specific hierarchies and exploiting them to match sketch with photo at corresponding hierarchical levels.
