Computational sketch synthesis: Enhancing design creativity through interactive sketch morphing in digital environment

초록

"This paper identifies how Computational Sketch Synthesis (CSS) methodology can help designers improve their design outcomes. The interactive CSS introduced in this research AIDS designers in exploring unvisited design options through the instant visualization of gradual alternatives of design sketches. This CSS allows designers to conduct both the hand-drawn sketch (drawing production) and computational synthesis (transformation) simultaneously. CSS interactively synthesizes hand-drawn sketches from the designer and creates novel design alternatives through morphing the sketches. Also, CSS invites designers to flexibly reflect new design directions requested in the middle of the design process. The research also has both academic and professional contributions. In the interests of academia, this paper identifies a possible area in sketching where computational design synthesis can automate a traditional sketching process. In the professional realm, design professionals can progress their design processes more efficiently while exploring every iteration of different design variations.
