- Deep Sketch Hashing: Fast Free-hand Sketch-Based Image Retrieval
- by Li Liu, Fumin Shen, Yuming Shen, Xianglong Liu and Ling Shao
to be presented on CVPR 2017 spotlight section. This work focuses on fast sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) using binary codes.
To produce the binary codes described in the paper, one needs to install Caffe beforehand.
The mid-level Sketch-Token representation is required for training the model. The codes can be found here. Please refer to the following papers for more details.

We provide several pretrained models on two datasets with their respective deploy files. You may try to use any of these models to produce hash code for image-sketch matching.
