BendSketch: Modeling Freeform Surfaces Through 2D Sketching

With this novel sketch-based freeform surface modeling method, the user sketches contour curves and sparse shape-bending lines, and interactively obtains a freeform surface whose curvature patterns follow the bending lines. The method enables modeling of diverse interesting shapes and complements existing sketch-based modeling tools.

DeepSketch2Face: A Deep-Learning-Based Sketching System for 3D Face and Caricature Modeling

This deep-learning-based sketching system has a labor-efficient interface and a deep regression network for inferring 3D face models from 2D sketches. A significantly expanded face database is constructed to promote research and evaluation of face-modeling techniques.

Skippy: Single-View 3D Curve Interactive Modeling

Skippy allows combination of 3D curves with a complex geometry from 2D user sketches by automatically inferring the 3D curve coordinates by enumerating a large set of potential curve trajectories.

k-Curves: Interpolation at Local Maximum Curvature

A method for constructing almost-everywhere curvature-continuous, piecewise-quadratic curves that interpolate a list of control points and have local maxima of curvature only at the control points.
