{"url":"/dataset/sketchyscene","name":"SketchyScene","full_name":null,"description_markdown":"SketchyScene is a large-scale dataset of scene sketches to advance research on sketch understanding at both the object and scene level. The dataset is created through a novel and carefully designed crowdsourcing pipeline, enabling users to efficiently generate large quantities of realistic and diverse scene sketches. SketchyScene contains more than 29,000 scene-level sketches, 7,000+ pairs of scene templates and photos, and 11,000+ object sketches. All objects in the scene sketches have ground-truth semantic and instance masks. The dataset is also highly scalable and extensible, easily allowing augmenting and/or changing scene composition. \r\n\r\nSource: [SketchyScene: Richly-Annotated Scene Sketches](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_ECCV_2018/papers/Changqing_Zou_SketchyScene_Richly-Annotated_Scene_ECCV_2018_paper.pdf)\r\nImage Source: [Zoe et al]( SketchyScene: Richly-Annotated Scene Sketches)","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/SketchyScene/SketchyScene","introduced_date":"2018-08-07","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":{"paper":"/paper/sketchyscene-richly-annotated-scene-sketches","title":"SketchyScene: Richly-Annotated Scene Sketches","first_author":"Changqing Zou","url":null},"license":null,"modalities":[{"name":"Images","url":"/datasets/modality/images"}],"tasks":[{"name":"Semantic Segmentation","url":"/task/semantic-segmentation","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/semantic-segmentation"},{"name":"Image Retrieval","url":"/task/image-retrieval","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/image-retrieval"},{"name":"Colorization","url":"/task/colorization","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/colorization"}],"languages":[],"variants":["SketchyScene"],"data_loaders":[{"repo":"https://github.com/SketchyScene/SketchyScene","url":"https://github.com/SketchyScene/SketchyScene","frameworks":["tf"]}],"num_papers_in_archive":9,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
