Face Sketch Synthesis

Description from the archive archive 2025-07-28.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

5 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 5 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.

Libraries

Not in the archive: the export carries no per-task library table, so there is nothing to show at snapshot 2025-07-28.

11 shown of 11 papers with code (18 tagged with this task in all), ordered by repositories listed in the archive, not by stars (the archive holds no stars, so PwC's “Social” and “Latest” sorts cannot be reproduced). Papers without a page here are shown as plain text.

• TediGAN: Text-Guided Diverse Face Image Generation and Manipulation
  6 Dec 2020 5 repositories listed
  In this work, we propose TediGAN, a novel framework for multi-modal image generation and manipulation with textual descriptions.
• Towards Realistic Face Photo-Sketch Synthesis via Composition-Aided GANs
  4 Dec 2017 2 repositories listed
  Experimental results show that our method is capable of generating both visually comfortable and identity-preserving face sketches/photos over a wide range of challenging data.
• One-shot Face Sketch Synthesis in the Wild via Generative Diffusion Prior and Instruction Tuning
  18 Jun 2025 1 repository listed
  In this paper, we propose a one-shot face sketch synthesis method based on diffusion models.
• Stylized Face Sketch Extraction via Generative Prior with Limited Data
  17 Mar 2024 1 repository listed
  Facial sketches are both a concise way of showing the identity of a person and a means to express artistic intention.
• Unite and Conquer: Plug & Play Multi-Modal Synthesis using Diffusion Models
  1 Dec 2022 1 repository listed
  We also introduce a novel reliability parameter that allows using different off-the-shelf diffusion models trained across various datasets during sampling time alone to guide it to the desired outcome satisfying…
• Bridging Unpaired Facial Photos And Sketches By Line-drawings
  1 Feb 2021 1 repository listed
  In this paper, we propose a novel method to learn face sketch synthesis models by using unpaired data.
• Face Sketch Synthesis with Style Transfer using Pyramid Column Feature
  18 Sep 2020 1 repository listed Syntology ran 0 of 9 samples · 9 unverified
  We utilize a fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) to create the content image, and propose a style transfer approach to introduce textures and shadings based on a newly proposed pyramid column feature.
• Scoot: A Perceptual Metric for Facial Sketches
  21 Aug 2019 1 repository listed
  In this paper, we design a perceptual metric, called Structure Co-Occurrence Texture (Scoot), which simultaneously considers the block-level spatial structure and co-occurrence texture statistics.
• Semi-Supervised Learning for Face Sketch Synthesis in the Wild
  12 Dec 2018 1 repository listed
  Instead of supervising the network with ground truth sketches, we first perform patch matching in feature space between the input photo and photos in a small reference set of photo-sketch pairs.
• Face Sketch Synthesis Style Similarity:A New Structure Co-occurrence Texture Measure
  9 Apr 2018 1 repository listed
  However, human perception of the similarity of two sketches will consider both structure and texture as essential factors and is not sensitive to slight ("pixel-level") mismatches.
• High-Quality Facial Photo-Sketch Synthesis Using Multi-Adversarial Networks
  27 Oct 2017 1 repository listed
  To this end, we propose a novel synthesis framework called Photo-Sketch Synthesis using Multi-Adversarial Networks, (PS2-MAN) that iteratively generates low resolution to high resolution images in an adversarial way.

Syntology lines on 1 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
