Authentic sketches drawn by artists have various sketch styles to add visual interest and contribute feeling to the sketch. However, exis ting sketch-extraction methods generate sketches with only one style. More over, existing style transfer models fail to transfer sketch styles becaus e they are mostly designed to transfer textures of a source style image in stead of transferring the sparse line styles from a reference sketch. Lack ing the necessary volumes of data for standard training of translation sys tems, at the core of our GAN-based solution is a self-reference sketch sty le generator that produces various reference sketches with a similar style but different spatial layouts. We use independent attention modules to de tect the edges of a colorized image and reference sketch as well as the vi sual correspondences between them. We apply several loss terms to imitate the style and enforce sparsity in the extracted sketches. Our sketch-extra ction method results in a close imitation of a reference sketch style draw n by an artist and outperforms all baseline methods. Using our method, we produce a synthetic dataset representing various sketch styles and improve the performance of auto-colorization models, in high demand in comics. Th e validity of our approach is confirmed via qualitative and quantitative e valuations.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, ON-DEMAND ACCESS\n\nLan guage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON, ON-DEMAND URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_436&sess=sess15 9 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
