Title:
- Photorealistic Facial Image from Monochrome Pencil Sketch

Abstract:
People often draw the rough portrait using only a pencil. However, it is difficult for viewers to imagine an actual face from monochrome sketch. If photorealistic facial image can be generated from pencil sketch, it is very useful. Additionally, this system will be applicable to criminal investigation, because the police often draw the portrait using only a pencil based on the testimony of an eyewitness.
Many studies on sketch-based images have been reported.
Klare et al. [2011] proposed a matching system between a forensic sketch and a gallery of mug shot images. However, in their method, it cannot generate an original face.
In this paper, we can generate an original facial image which preserves individuality of an input image. In brief, we propose a method that can generate a photorealistic facial image from monochrome pencil sketch.
