Draw-and-Guess: A mobile game with a purpose for drawing base image retrieval
The availability of finger-touch mobile devices has provided a feasible platform for drawing based image retrieval. While text labels represent a sematic description of an image, drawings represent a visual description of the image. In this paper, we describe the development and preliminary design of a game with a purpose that with potential to build a dataset for drawing based image retrieval field. To achieve this, we 1) develop a user-friendly interface to allow users to easily color sketches; 2) propose an entertaining game, Draw-and-Guess, which employs a drawing based image retrieval paradigm in the gameplay; 3) carry out a user study to evaluate the usability of this application and several design guidelines were concluded from the phases of development and evaluation; 4) shows how the collected dataset can be used for evaluating performance of algorithm in DBIR.
