First of all we perform a sketch-driven segmentation of the scene by means of a Deformation Tolerant version of the Generalized Hough Transform (DTGHT). Using the DTG HT we select in the image some candidate segments to be matched with the user sketch. The candidate segments are then matched with the sketch checking the consistency of the corresponding shapes.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/268","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0268.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/268.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/268","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":268,"pages":{"first":1551,"last":1551},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
