Sketch realizing
Di Jia Wu, Qionghai Dai · 2009
People usually visualize their imaginations or memories through sketching. However, it might be difficult to record color and texture details powered by a large database of photographs gathered from the Web. This paper deals with the imagination visualization problem for human faces. A framework for synthesizing lifelike portraits from user specifications and input sketches is proposed which is an inverse process of sketch generation. The proposed framework synthesizes the realistic appearance of a face by taking parts from an annotated face library of photographs and stitching them together followed by further deformation.
