Content Based Image Retrieval(CBIR) is one of the important subfield in the field of Information Retrieval. The goal of a CBIR algorithm is to retrieve semantically similar images in response to a query image submitted by the end user. CBIR…

Architectures based on siamese networks with triplet loss have shown outstanding performance on the image-based similarity search problem. This approach attempts to discriminate between positive (relevant) and negative (irrelevant) items.…

This research features a deep-learning based framework to address the problem of matching a given face sketch image against a face photo database. The problem of photo-sketch matching is challenging because 1) there is large modality gap…

3D face reconstruction from a single sketch is a critical yet underexplored task with significant practical applications. The primary challenges stem from the substantial modality gap between 2D sketches and 3D facial structures, including:…

Pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) excel in multimodal tasks, commonly encoding images as embedding vectors for storage in databases and retrieval via approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS). However, these models struggle with…

Face detection has achieved significant progress in recent years. However, high performance face detection still remains a very challenging problem, especially when there exists many tiny faces. In this paper, we present a single-shot…

In this paper we address the problem of learning robust cross-domain representations for sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR). While most SBIR approaches focus on extracting low- and mid-level descriptors for direct feature matching, recent…

Photon counting lidar has become an invaluable tool for 3D depth imaging due to the fine-precision it can achieve over long ranges. However, high frame rate, high resolution lidar devices produce an enormous amount of time-of-flight (ToF)…

Conceptualizing away the sketch processing details in a user interface will enable general users and domain experts to create more complex sketches. There are many domains for which sketch recognition systems are being developed. But they…

Sketch portrait generation benefits a wide range of applications such as digital entertainment and law enforcement. Although plenty of efforts have been dedicated to this task, several issues still remain unsolved for generating vivid and…

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…

We study the practical task of fine-grained 3D-VR-sketch-based 3D shape retrieval. This task is of particular interest as 2D sketches were shown to be effective queries for 2D images. However, due to the domain gap, it remains hard to…

Zero-shot learning offers an efficient solution for a machine learning model to treat unseen categories, avoiding exhaustive data collection. Zero-shot Sketch-based Image Retrieval (ZS-SBIR) simulates real-world scenarios where it is hard…

Generating 3D models from face sketches is an active topic of research in Computer Graphics due to its potential to tremendously facilitate the modeling of faces for both professional 3D arists and novices. Motivated by the observation that…

We present an algorithm for searching image collections using free-hand sketches that describe the appearance and relative positions of multiple objects. Sketch based image retrieval (SBIR) methods predominantly match queries containing a…

This paper proposes a content based image retrieval (CBIR) system using the local colour and texture features of selected image sub-blocks and global colour and shape features of the image. The image sub-blocks are roughly identified by…

Fine-Grained Visual Categorization (FGVC) has achieved significant progress recently. However, the number of fine-grained species could be huge and dynamically increasing in real scenarios, making it difficult to recognize unseen objects…

The ability to automatically complete a partial sketch that depicts a complex scene, e.g., "a woman chatting with a man in the park", is very useful. However, existing sketch generation methods create sketches from scratch; they do not…

Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) associates hand-drawn sketches with their corresponding realistic images. In this study, we aim to tackle two major challenges of this task simultaneously: i) zero-shot, dealing with unseen categories,…

Zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval (ZSSBIR), as a popular studied branch of computer vision, attracts wide attention recently. Unlike sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR), the main aim of ZSSBIR is to retrieve natural images given free…
