Fast Sketch Segmentation and Labeling with Deep Learning
share
We present a simple and efficient method based on deep learning to automatically decompose sketched objects into semantically valid parts. We train a deep neural network to transfer existing segmentations and labelings from 3D models to freehand sketches without requiring numerous well-annotated sketches as training data. The network takes the binary image of a sketched object as input and produces a corresponding segmentation map with per-pixel labelings as output. A subsequent post-process procedure with multi-label graph cuts further refines the segmentation and labeling result. We validate our proposed method on two sketch datasets. Experiments show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art method in terms of segmentation and labeling accuracy and is significantly faster, enabling further integration in interactive drawing systems. We demonstrate the efficiency of our method in a sketch-based modeling application that automatically transforms input sketches into 3D models by part assembly.
