Researchers have developed a computer can that identify these sketches better than a human

But now, a research team at London's Queen Mary University has created a programme that is better at identifying sketches than humans. Popular Science picked up their research paper earlier this week. It was published online in arXiv.
In the study, Sketch-a-Net was able to correctly identify 74.5% of drawings, which is the first time that a machine has surpassed the human sketch recognition benchmark of 73.1%. Training a computer to identify sketches could be useful for online shopping, if a customer wanted to draw out a product and have the database recognise it, or to match police sketches to security footage, researchers said.
