Finding Badly Drawn Bunnies

As lovely as bunnies are, your sketched version would probably not do it justice (Fig. 1). This paper recognises this very problem and studies sketch quality measurement for the first time -- letting you find these badly drawn ones. Our key discovery lies in exploiting the magnitude (L2 norm) of a sketch feature as a quantitative quality metric. We propose Geometry-Aware Classification Layer (GACL), a generic method that makes feature-magnitude-as-quality-metric possible and importantly does it without the need for specific quality annotations from humans. GACL sees feature magnitude and recognisability learning as a dual task, which can be simultaneously optimised under a neat cross-entropy classification loss. GACL is lightweight with theoretic guarantees and enjoys a nice geometric interpretation to reason its success. We confirm consistent quality agreements between our GACL-induced metric and human perception through a carefully designed human study. Last but not least, we demonstrate three practical sketch applications enabled for the first time using our quantitative quality metric. Code will be made publicly available.
