Hand Drawn Sketch

Hand-drawn sketches, a fundamental form of human expression and communication, are the focus of intense research aiming to bridge the gap between human creativity and machine understanding. Current research emphasizes developing generative models, often based on diffusion models or generative adversarial networks (GANs), to synthesize sketches from various inputs (images, text, motion data) and to translate sketches into other modalities (images, 3D models, animations). These advancements are improving applications across diverse fields, including art, design, medical imaging, and robotics, by enabling more efficient and intuitive content creation and analysis. Furthermore, research is exploring how to leverage sketches for improved explainability in AI systems and for more robust and efficient machine learning algorithms.
