SketchyScene is the first large-scale scene sketch dataset, which aims to advance the research of sketching at the object and scene level. The dataset is created through a novel and carefully designed crowdsourcing pipeline, enabling users to efficiently generate a large number of realistic and diverse scene sketches.

SketchyScene contains more than 29,000 scene-level sketches, more than 7,000 pairs of scene templates and photos, and more than 11,000 object sketches. All objects in the scene sketches have ground truth semantics and instance masks. The dataset is also highly scalable and extensible, making it easy to expand and/or change the scene composition.
