Abstract
Despite rapid advances in generative models, achieving pixel-level precision in sketch-based image editing remains a persistent challenge, particularly for fine-grained local deformations. This gap stems primarily from the critical shortage of high-quality, publicly available benchmark datasets that jointly provide geometric constraints and semantic instructions. To address this issue, we first introduce **SI-Data**, a high-quality dataset specifically designed for instruction-guided local sketch editing. We develop an automated pipeline leveraging Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to synthesize comprehensive quadruplets comprising original images, local geometric sketches, semantic instructions, and corresponding edited images. By providing both reliable spatial anchors and explicit semantic intent, SI-Data uniquely enables collaborative spatial-semantic learning. Building upon this, we propose a collaborative framework called **SI-Edit** that integrates semantic instructions with precise geometric constraints. Furthermore, to address the lack of standardized evaluation, we establish a comprehensive set of metrics designed to measure both structural fidelity (e.g., sketch-to-edge alignment) and semantic adherence. Experimental results demonstrate that SI-Edit provides more reliable structural control than baselines for sketch-based image editing, and achieves precise, pixel-level local refinements aligned with user intent. The data and code are released on the [project page](this https URL).
