Sketch-to-Icon Paper Code

This repo contains the full code of my Sketch-to-Icon thesis project.

The main topic is SBIR (Sketch based image retrieval) and Neural Networks. The two main goals of the project are:

• find an effective CBIR method;
• fill the draw-icon gap.

3 methods are assessed:

• draws and edge-extracted icons (Classification Neural Network and Autoencoder);
• half-shared weights (Triplet network);
• mixed dataset (Classification Neural Network)

3 network architectures are assessed:

• "simple" CNN;
• Mobilenet v1;
• Resnet-50.

Development

The project is developed thanks to Google's Colab platform.
