CONCLUSION
67
We introduced AI-Sketcher, a hybrid deep
learning model to automatically generate high
quality sketch drawings .
Our model improves drawing quality by
• employing a CNN-based autoencoder to
capture the positional information.
• introducing an influence layer to more
precisely guide the generation of each stroke.
• provideding a conditional vector to support
multi-class sketch generation.
