Generalizing the Active Shape Model by Integrating Structural Knowledge to Recognize Hand Drawn Sketches
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new deformable shape model Active Shape Structural Model (ASSM) for recognition and reconstruction. The main features of ASSM are: (1) It describes variations of shape not only statistically as Active shape/Appearance model but also by structural variations. (2) Statistical and structural prior knowledge is integrated resulting in a multi-resolution shape description such that the statistical variation becomes more constrained as structural information is added. Experiments on hand drawn sketches of mechanical systems using electronic ink demonstrate the ability of the deformable model to recognize objects structurally and reconstruct them statistically.

Envisioning sketch recognition: a local feature based approach to recognizing informal sketches
Hand drawn sketches are an important part of the early design process and are an important aspect of creative design. They are used in many elds including electrical engineering, software engineering and web design. Recognizing shapes in these sketches is a challenging task due to the imprecision with which they are drawn. We tackle this challenge with a visual approach to recognition. The appr...
متن کاملUsing an Active Shape Structural Model for Biometric Sketch Recognition
A deformable shape model called Active Shape Structural Model (ASSM) is used within a biometric framework to define a biometric sketch recognition algorithm. Experimental results show that mainly structural relations rather than statistical features can be used to recognize sketches of different users with high accuracy.
متن کاملA generic approach for recognition and structural modelling of drawers’ sketching gestures
This article handles the problem of the automatic analysis of online hand drawn geometric sketches. An online sketch can be analyzed according to several points of view. As for offline sketching, we can try to recognize the produced shape. However, online sketching allows other levels of analysis like the one of the drawer’s behavior during the production of sketches. We propose a method for dr...
متن کاملGeneration of Slides from Hand-Drawn Sketches
As engineers, we often find ourselves spending a non-trivial amount of time converting sketched diagrams and figures into digital format. A lot of research has been done in conversion of hand-drawn sketches to computer drawings. However, most of it is domain-specific with training templates which must first demonstrate the shapes the user first intends to recognize as suggested by Kara and Stah...
متن کاملIf You Can Draw It, You Can Recognize It: Mirroring For Sketch Recognition
Humans use sketches drawn on paper, on a computer, or via hand gestures in the air as part of their communications. To recognize shapes in sketches, most existing work focuses on offline (post-drawing) recognition methods, trained on large sets of examples which serve as a plan library for the recognition method. These methods do not allow on-line recognition, and require a very large library (...
