SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING PORTRAIT SKETCH FROM PHOTO

摘要

The present invention discloses a system and method for synthesizing a portrait sketch from a photo. The method includes: dividing the photo into a set of photo patches; determining first matching information between each of the photo patches and training photo patches pre-divided from a set of training photos; determining second matching information between each of the photo patches and training sketch patches pre-divided from a set of training sketches; determining a shape prior for the portrait sketch to be synthesized; determining a set of matched training sketch patches for each of the photo patches based on the first and the second matching information and the shape prior; and synthesizing the portrait sketch from the determined matched training sketch patches.
