What if you could draw some stick figures on a screen and somehow magically create a beautiful image montage?
PhotoSketch: Internet Image Montage from tao chen on Vimeo.
Their abstract:
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.
Here is a link to the source code for the project if you want to tinker with it.
Mind-blowing, right?
