Drawing freehand sketches of mechanical components on multimedia devices for AI-based engineering modeling has become a new trend. However, its development is being impeded because existing works cannot produce suitable sketches for…
We propose a novel image-to-pencil translation method that could not only generate high-quality pencil sketches but also offer the drawing process. Existing pencil sketch algorithms are based on texture rendering rather than the direct…
We present a fully automatic method to generate detailed and accurate artistic shadows from pairs of line drawing sketches and lighting directions. We also contribute a new dataset of one thousand examples of pairs of line drawings and…
Sketches are the most abstract 2D representations of real-world objects. Although a sketch usually has geometrical distortion and lacks visual cues, humans can effortlessly envision a 3D object from it. This suggests that sketches encode…
Converting hand-drawn sketches into structured 3D geometries remains challenging due to the difficulty of representing non-Euclidean surfaces and maintaining topological consistency. Existing generative models such as GANs, NeRFs, and…
Computer-aided design (CAD) tools empower designers to design and modify 3D models through a series of CAD operations, commonly referred to as a CAD sequence. In scenarios where digital CAD files are not accessible, reverse engineering (RE)…
Conceptual product design requires designers to explore the design space of visual and functional concepts simultaneously. Sketching has long been adopted to empower concept exploration. However, current sketch-based design tools mostly…
One tough problem of image inpainting is to restore complex structures in the corrupted regions. It motivates interactive image inpainting which leverages additional hints, e.g., sketches, to assist the inpainting process. Sketch is simple…
Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are utilized in the manufacturing industry for modeling everything from cups to spacecraft. These programs are complex to use and typically require years of training and experience to master. Structured and…
Current 3D reconstruction methods typically generate outputs in the form of voxels, point clouds, or meshes. However, each of these formats has inherent limitations, such as rough surfaces and distorted structures. Additionally, these data…
We present Sketch2Colab, which turns storyboard-style 2D sketches into coherent, object-aware 3D multi-human motion with fine-grained control over agents, joints, timing, and contacts. Diffusion-based motion generators offer strong realism…
We introduce SketchGNN, a convolutional graph neural network for semantic segmentation and labeling of freehand vector sketches. We treat an input stroke-based sketch as a graph, with nodes representing the sampled points along input…
Sketching is a dimensionality reduction technique where one compresses a matrix by linear combinations that are chosen at random. A line of work has shown how to sketch the Hessian to speed up each iteration in a second order method, but…
For a full-stack web or app development, it requires a software firm or more specifically a team of experienced developers to contribute a large portion of their time and resources to design the website and then convert it to code. As a…
Parametric Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is central to contemporary mechanical design. However, it encounters challenges in achieving precise parametric sketch modeling and lacks practical evaluation metrics suitable for mechanical design. We…
Hatching is a common method used by artists to accentuate the third dimension of a sketch, and to illuminate the scene. Our system SHAD3S attempts to compete with a human at hatching generic three-dimensional (3D) shapes, and also tries to…
3D textured face reconstruction from sketches applicable in many scenarios such as animation, 3D avatars, artistic design, missing people search, etc., is a highly promising but underdeveloped research topic. On the one hand, the stylistic…
3D modeling based on point clouds is an efficient way to reconstruct and create detailed 3D content. However, the geometric procedure may lose accuracy due to high redundancy and the absence of an explicit structure. In this work, we…
Freehand sketches often contain sparse visual detail. In spite of the sparsity, they are easily and consistently recognized by humans across cultures, languages and age groups. Therefore, analyzing such sparse sketches can aid our…
The construction of 3D geological models is an essential task in oil/gas exploration, development and production. However, it is a cumbersome, time-consuming and error-prone task mainly because of the model's geometric and topological…
