A neural-network-based sketch recognition system

Children really enjoy painting. Painting is not only full of fun but also beneficial for children to further develop their physical skills (e.g., hand eye coordination, fine motor skills, and gross motor skills), express their creativity, boost their self-confidence, etc. On the other hand, storytelling is also a joyful and educational activity for children. In this paper, we develop an interactive platform called An Interactive Painting and Storytelling Platform (AIPSP) on which the two activities of painting and storytelling mingle. Via the proposed AIPSP, children can create a story simply via sketching some main characters of the story on a drawing board. Via these characters and interactions, some creative and funny stories can be created.
