Facial-Sketch Synthesis: A New Challenge. (arXiv:2112.15439v5 [cs.CV] UPDATED)

This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive study on facial-sketch synthesis
(FSS). However, due to the high costs of obtaining hand-drawn sketch datasets,
there lacks a complete benchmark for assessing the development of FSS
algorithms over the last decade. We first introduce a high-quality dataset for
FSS, named FS2K, which consists of 2,104 image-sketch pairs spanning three
types of sketch styles, image backgrounds, lighting conditions, skin colors,
and facial attributes. FS2K differs from previous FSS datasets in difficulty,
diversity, and …
