Abstract

We present EasySketchDesign, a sketch interface that integrates the sketch retrieval technique to search pictures related to current design form the image library quickly and exactly. The sketch drawn by the designer and the referential product data set are first transformed into a clear outline by means of edge detection, image dilation, etc. Then, the improved Recursive Cortical Network (RCN) is used to select the existing products similar to the sketch. Through such a design mode, the designer can be inspired by other people’s work. Besides, they can know whether their work has the risk of being the same as the existing product to guarantee innovation. The evaluation study shows this system is easy to use and effective in transcending the creative potential of traditional sketching in Product conceptual design.
