Novel hybrid generative adversarial network for synthesizing image from sketch

In the area of sketch-based image retrieval process, there is a potential difference between retrieving the match images from defined dataset and constructing the synthesized image. The former process is quite easier while the latter process requires more faster, accurate, and intellectual decision making by the processor. After reviewing open-end research problems from existing approaches, the proposed scheme introduces a computational framework of hybrid generative adversarial network (GAN) as a solution to address the identified research problem. The model takes the input of query image which is processed by generator module running 3 different deep learning modes of ResNet, MobileNet, and U-Net. The discriminator module processes the input of real images as well as output from generator. With a novel interactive communication between generator and discriminator, the proposed model offers optimal retrieval performance along with an inclusion of optimizer. The study outcome shows significant performance improvement

A simplified and novel technique to retrieve color images from hand-drawn sketch by human

With the increasing adoption of human-computer interaction, there is a growing trend of extracting the image through hand-drawn sketches by humans to find out correlated objects from the storage unit. A review of the existing system shows the dominant use of sophisticated and complex mechanisms where the focus is more on accuracy and less on system efficiency. Hence, this proposed system introduces a simplified extraction of the related image using an attribution clustering process and a cost-effective training scheme. The proposed method uses K-means clustering and bag-of-attributes to extract essential information from the sketch. The proposed system also introduces a unique indexing scheme that makes the retrieval process faster and results in retrieving the highest-ranked images. Implemented in MATLAB, the study outcome shows the proposed system offers better accuracy and processing time than the existing feature extraction technique
