An Intelligent and Interactive Icon Creation System for Mobile Users

In this paper, we propose an intelligent system to help people create customized icons on touch sensitive mobile devices. Users can create their own icons from one or multiple drawings in an intelligent and interactive way. The system could automatically combine several hand-drawn sketches or drawings to create new complex icons. We also provide one recommendation function to assist the creation process. Our system makes good balance between the spirit of customization and the leveraging of predefined templates. It provides a more convenient and efficient way to create complex icons for mobile users.
