Summary:
This paper presents the idea of helping a user draw a sketch correctly. It also presents a general method for guiding a user's sketch and nine ideas for assistive sketch recognition in general. Most users are not skilled at drawing on a computer, or drawing at all. iCanDraw allows users to create accurate sketches. The user's sketches were more accurate with the assistance of the iCanDraw system.
Before the user starts sketching, the iCanDraw system analyzes the face image and extracts relevant data from it to use for the guidance interface. The user can verify the accuracy of his or her sketch with the "Check my work" option. It checks the accuracy of the user's lines with the "correct", computer-generated version.
Discussion:
If I remember correctly, Prof. Hammond presented this paper's contents in class. I like the idea of getting the face correct, but it doesn't really allow for artistic creativity. The system pretty much tells you what to draw, so why doesn't it just draw the face for you and save you the trouble? One more thing: does this system work for someone who ISN'T bald?
