<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/i><\/u><\/p>\n Sketch-based image search is a well-known and difficult problem, in which little progress has been made in the past decade in developing a large-scale and practical sketch-based search engine. We have revisited this problem and developed a scalable solution to sketch-based image search. The MindFinder system has been built by indexing more than 1.5 billion web images to enable efficient sketch-based image retrieval, and many creative applications can be expected to advance the state of the art.<\/p>\n\t\t\t
