We propose a novel pseudo photo generation system from a sketch image. All the training images and the input test sketch are warped around its mean shape to get shape free images. Based on local geometry preserving manifold learning method called locally linear embedding (LLE), a shape free pseudo-photo is synthesized by block matching. Then the photo of actual shape is constructed with the help of an Active Shape Model(ASM) and a neural network built on shape control point coordinate pair for training sketchphoto samples. We experimented over 300 sketch-photo image pairs and output synthesized photo for every test image is encouraging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
