Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel face photo retrievalsystem using sketch drawings. By transforming a photoimage into a sketch, we reduce the difference betweenphoto and sketch significantly, thus allow effectivematching between the two. To improve the synthesisperformance, we separate shape and texture informationin a face photo, and conduct transformation on themrespectively. Finally a Bayesian classifier is used torecognize the probing sketch from the synthesizedpseudo-sketches. Experiments on a data set containing606 people clearly demonstrate the efficacy of thealgorithm.
