Pictures are taken from the paper “A descriptor for large scale image retrieval based on sketched feature lines” \ M. Eitz, K. Hildebrand, T. Boubekeur, and M. Alexa.
Project Description:
Digital cameras have lead to vast amounts of digital images, many accessible for free through the internet (e.g. Flickr). Finding an image in a database that is close to a mental model is an important and difficult task. Currently, most queries are either based on textual annotations, rough color sketches or other images.
Project Goal:
In this project we will develop an algorithm for finding an image from a large database, using only a hand-made sketch.
