PSDoodle: Searching for App Screens via Interactive Sketching

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2023-01-18 v2 Software Engineering

Abstract

Keyword-based mobile screen search does not account for screen content and fails to operate as a universal tool for all levels of users. Visual searching (e.g., image, sketch) is structured and easy to adopt. Current visual search approaches count on a complete screen and are therefore slow and tedious. PSDoodle employs a deep neural network to recognize partial screen element drawings instantly on a digital drawing interface and shows results in real-time. PSDoodle is the first tool that utilizes partial sketches and searches for screens in an interactive iterative way. PSDoodle supports different drawing styles and retrieves search results that are relevant to the user's sketch query. A short video demonstration is available online at: https://youtu.be/3cVLHFm5pY4
