Data-driven Segmentation and Labeling of Freehand Sketches

We present a data-driven approach to derive part-level segmentaflon labeling of free-hand sketches, which depict single objects with multiple parts. Our method performs segmentation and labeling simultaneously, by inferring a structure that best fits the input sketch, through selecting and connecting 3D components in the database. The problem is formulated using Mixed Integer Programming, which optimizes over both the local fitness of the selected components and the global plausibility of the connected structure, Evaluations show that our algorithm is significantly better than the straightforward approaches based OD direct retrieval or part assembly, and can effectively handle challenging variations in the sketch.
