Abstract
Sketch synthesis plays an important role in face sketch-photo recognition system. In this manuscript, an automatic sketch synthesis algorithm is proposed based on embedded hidden Markov model (E-HMM) and selective ensemble strategy. First, the E-HMM is adopted to model the nonlinear relationship between a sketch and its corresponding photo. Then based on several learned models, a series of pseudo-sketches are generated for a given photo. Finally, these pseudo-sketches are fused together with selective ensemble strategy to synthesize a finer face pseudo-sketch. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm achieves satisfactory effect of sketch synthesis with a small set of face training samples.
