One-Shot Learning of Sketch Categories with Co-regularized Sparse Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Categorizing free-hand human sketches has profound implications in applications such as human computer interaction and image retrieval. The task is non-trivial due to the iconic nature of sketches, signified by large variances in both appearance and structure when compared with photographs. Prior works often utilize off-the-shelf low-level features and assume the availability of a large training set, rendering them sensitive towards abstraction and less scalable to new categories. To overcome this limitation, we propose a transfer learning framework which enables one-shot learning of sketch categories. The framework is based on a novel co-regularized sparse coding model which exploits common/shareable parts among human sketches of seen categories and transfer them to unseen categories. We contribute a new dataset consisting of 7,760 human segmented sketches from 97 object categories. Extensive experiments reveal that the proposed method can classify unseen sketch categories given just one training sample with a 33.04% accuracy, offering a two-fold improvement over baselines.
