The field of sketch-based interfaces and modeling (SBIM) is
concerned with developing methods and techniques to enable users to
interact with a computer through sketching - a simple, yet highly
expressive medium. SBIM blends concepts from computer graphics,
human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and machine
learning. Recent improvements in hardware, coupled with new machine
learning techniques for more accurate recognition, and more robust
depth inferencing techniques for sketch-based modeling, have
resulted in an explosion of both sketch-based interfaces and
pen-based computing devices. Presenting the first coherent, unified
overview of SBIM, this unique text/reference bridges the two
complementary research areas of user interaction (sketch-based
interfaces), and graphical modeling and construction (sketch-based
modeling). The book discusses the state of the art of this rapidly
evolving field, with contributions from an international selection
of experts. Also covered are sketch-based systems that allow the
user to manipulate and edit existing data - from text, images, 3D
shapes, and video - as opposed to modeling from scratch. Topics and
features: reviews pen/stylus interfaces to graphical applications
that avoid reliance on user interface modes; describes systems for
diagrammatic sketch recognition, mathematical sketching, and
sketch-based retrieval of vector drawings; examines pen-based user
interfaces for engineering and educational applications; presents a
set of techniques for sketch recognition that rely strictly on
spatial information; introduces the Teddy system; a pioneering
sketching interface for designing free-form 3D models; investigates
a range of advanced sketch-based systems for modeling and designing
3D objects, including complex contours, clothing, and hair-styles;
explores methods for modeling from just a single sketch or using
only a few strokes. This text is an essential resource for
researchers, practitioners and graduate students involved in
human-factors and user interfaces, interactive computer graphics,
and intelligent user interfaces and AI.
