Fine-Grained Color Sketch-Based Image Retrieval

摘要

We propose a novel fine-grained color sketch-based image retrieval (CSBIR) approach. The CSBIR problem is investigated for the first time using deep learning networks, in which deep features are used to represent color sketches and images. A novel ranking method considering both shape matching and color matching is also proposed. In addition, we build a CSBIR dataset with color sketches and images to train and test our method. The results show that our method has better retrieval performance.
