1. Sketch2Photo: Internet Image Montage
2 months ago
Due to a name conflict with a Google SketchUp Plugin, we now change title to Sketch2Photo.
We present a system that composes a realistic picture from a simple
freehand sketch annotated with text labels. The composed picture
is generated by seamlessly stitching several photographs in agreement
with the sketch and text labels; these are found by searching
the Internet. Although online image search generates many inappropriate
results, our system is able to automatically select suitable
photographs to generate a high quality composition, using a filtering
scheme to exclude undesirable images. We also provide a novel
image blending algorithm to allow seamless image composition.
Each blending result is given a numeric score, allowing us to find
an optimal combination of discovered images. Experimental results
show the method is very successful; we also evaluate our system using
the results from two user studies.

but you guys could use a writer.
I'm available ;)
Get off my internetz Heaver! ;-)
Perfect for this "crisis". Do an ugly composite, steal a couple of images off the web, don't hire a professional!
WooHoo!
Good one.

Its a fake
cg.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/montage/files/Binary.zip
And their main project site:
cg.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/montage/main.htm
Anybody with technical skeelz wanna take a look and see if it's for real?
lol
Go read the paper, the solution is pretty obvious.
If you haven't seen that do yourself a favor and watch it!
But, where i take this for me????

This paper lists authors from Berlin and Paris. And there is no overlap in authorship between this paper and this video.
This video has the accompanying conference paper hosted at the Nat. Uni. of Singapore:
ece.nus.edu.sg.nyud.net/stfpage/eletp/Papers/sigasia09_photosketch.pdf
UPDATE: The paper by Eitz et al. is cited by this Tsinghua Uni group.

When I saw the video you pointed to (I think it was on digg several months ago), I thought of it like I think of car companies showing us fantastic cool 'concept cars' that'll never make it into consumer's hands. Instead I see another taurus or camry. That metaphor is apt, I think. When are we going to see these features in Premier or After Effects? Hard to justify spending so much bill on their updates when they don't deliver leaps in thinking like we just witnessed in any of these video demos...

It never ceases to amaze me how people get so caught up in techno-hype. Rant over ;)
great interface,
super thinking, great development, this can act as a plugin for google imagebank, tineye, flickr like online app. and any photobank services.
you are millionaire:)
i had to reblog it on abracadabran.posterous.com/photosketch-how-come-this-was-not-done-earlie
hope you do not mind!
Reminds me of this video:

This is an academic presentation. They aren't showing you how to create a professional quality composition automatically.
They are presenting new ways of gathering and isolating images based on user defined criteria.
This technology still needs a person with skills to make it look good, it just speeds up the process.
As this is a research project, the online software/product
is not ready for publish, we are still working on it.
Seems to be impressive.
Please use this technology to improve as in make actually useful the myriad masking programs out there that cannot distinguish properly between the foreground and the background. Then you might make something people can use and yourselves some money.
I'm sure Photoshop was very novel at version 1.0. Is it still novel?
Most photoshop work is taking different elements and combining them together.
If you mean using other people's images from the internet, that would be considered copyright infringement. Though I think they are only using those as examples of what it can do.
this is awesome on so many levels! tao chen thank you and don't let small minded people stand in your way!
for the trolls and naysayers:
do not fear what you may not understand...it makes no sense...educate yourself instead
