De-sketching

Many software applications exist for plotting graphs of mathematical functions, yet there are none (to our knowledge) that perform the inverse operation - estimating mathematical expressions from graphs. Since plotting graphs (especially by hand) is often referred to as "sketching," we refer to the inverse operation as "de-sketching." As the number of mathematical expressions that approximate a given curve can be quite large, in this demo we restrict our attention to polynomials, and present a deep model that performs de-sketching by finding the best second-degree polynomial to fit the curve in the input image. Currently, our trained model is able to provide reasonably accurate estimates of polynomial coefficients for both synthetically-generated and hand-drawn curves.
