The recent focus on Fine-Grained Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (FG-SBIR) has shifted towards generalising a model to new categories without any training data from them. In real-world applications, however, a trained FG-SBIR model is often…

We present a probabilistic model for Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (SBIR) where, at retrieval time, we are given sketches from novel classes, that were not present at training time. Existing SBIR methods, most of which rely on learning…

In some specific scenarios, face sketch was used to identify a person. However, drawing a complete face sketch often needs skills and takes time, which hinder its widespread applicability in the practice. In this study, we proposed a new…

This paper studies the problem of zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval (ZS-SBIR), which aims to use sketches from unseen categories as queries to match the images of the same category. Due to the large cross-modality discrepancy, ZS-SBIR…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are often prone to learn the spurious correlations between target classes and bias attributes, like gender and race, inherent in a major portion of training data (bias-aligned samples), thus showing unfair…

Recent studies show that large-scale sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) can be efficiently tackled by cross-modal binary representation learning methods, where Hamming distance matching significantly speeds up the process of similarity…

We propose and evaluate several triplet CNN architectures for measuring the similarity between sketches and photographs, within the context of the sketch based image retrieval (SBIR) task. In contrast to recent fine-grained SBIR work, we…

Recently, deep learning has achieved remarkable successes in medical image analysis. Although deep neural networks generate clinically important predictions, they have inherent uncertainty. Such uncertainty is a major barrier to report…

Researches using margin based comparison loss demonstrate the effectiveness of penalizing the distance between face feature and their corresponding class centers. Despite their popularity and excellent performance, they do not explicitly…

In recent years, there has been a rapid progress in solving the binary problems in computer vision, such as edge detection which finds the boundaries of an image and salient object detection which finds the important object in an image.…

This paper presents the first exploration of text-to-image diffusion models for zero-shot sketch-based 3D shape retrieval (ZS-SBSR). Existing sketch-based 3D shape retrieval methods struggle in zero-shot settings due to the absence of…

The blooming availability of traces for social, biological, and communication networks opens up unprecedented opportunities in analyzing diffusion processes in networks. However, the sheer sizes of the nowadays networks raise serious…

Although synthetic data can alleviate acquisition challenges in image dehazing tasks, it also introduces the problem of domain bias when dealing with small-scale data. This paper proposes a novel dual-branch collaborative unpaired dehazing…

In this paper, we address the problem of hand-drawn sketch recognition. Inspired by the Bayesian decision theory, we present a deep metric learning loss with the objective to minimize the Bayesian risk of misclassification. We estimate this…

Low-shot sketch-based image retrieval is an emerging task in computer vision, allowing to retrieve natural images relevant to hand-drawn sketch queries that are rarely seen during the training phase. Related prior works either require…

Image-text retrieval in remote sensing aims to provide flexible information for data analysis and application. In recent years, state-of-the-art methods are dedicated to ``scale decoupling'' and ``semantic decoupling'' strategies to further…

We introduce SketchYourSeg, a novel framework that establishes freehand sketches as a powerful query modality for subjective image segmentation across entire galleries through a single exemplar sketch. Unlike text prompts that struggle with…

A fundamental challenge faced by existing Fine-Grained Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (FG-SBIR) models is the data scarcity -- model performances are largely bottlenecked by the lack of sketch-photo pairs. Whilst the number of photos can be…

Person re-identification (re-ID) requires densely distributed cameras. In practice, the person of interest may not be captured by cameras and, therefore, needs to be retrieved using subjective information (e.g., sketches from witnesses).…

As sketch research has collectively matured over time, its adaptation for at-mass commercialisation emerges on the immediate horizon. Despite an already mature research endeavour for photos, there is no research on the efficient inference…
