[1] Sketch recognition is a key frontier in the field of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction, similar to natural language processing or conversational artificial intelligence[2][3] Research in sketch recognition lies at the crossroads of artificial intelligence and human–computer interaction.
Recognition algorithms usually are gesture-based, appearance-based, geometry-based, or a combination thereof.
[4] In 2023, two developers used OpenAI's DallE-2 image generation platform to create a forensic sketch program.
The program's results were described as "hyper-realistic" and purported the potential of exponentially decreasing the creation time of a forensic sketch, while increasing accuracy.
[5] Sketch recognition technology has also been linked to applications in the fields of architecture, videogame production, animation, construction, and academia, among others.
