Reading #25

Summary:

This paper proposed a method of retrieving image with combined text information and sketch information. The whole is based on a descriptor, which is constructed by both color image and sketch, where the sketch actually provides the edges of the desired images. An edge histogram descriptor in a cell will be stored for each image. It takes up to 3 seconds to search an image among 1.5 million images.

Discussion:

The major contribution of this paper is the idea of using  sketch information combined with text. We have all experienced using text description to find a picture. It does not work well. This is really a very interesting idea of using sketch.
