PhotoSketch is an “Internet Image Montage” project from five Chinese Computer Science and Technology students at Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore. The basic premise, which they present in the form of a research paper [pdf], works like this:

Step 1. Draw the outlines of the figures you want in your picture – anything from seagulls to a Mercedes, whatever tickles your fancy,

Step 2. Add labels for each of the items, as well as for the background.

Step 3. PhotoSketch will then find real-life images to match your doodles and put them together in a Photoshopped image that will make your jaw drop.

Yeah.....think the novelty of that ran out before I finished reading the sentence.

It could be interesting to see how well it works, but who knows with the website seemingly down since it was announced.

I couldn't either. That's why I started a new thread. Amazing though, you only get responses when you say something stupid.

I think it's pretty amazing, when you consider that it's all done by software algorithms. I think the potential is huge. It's early technology. But yeah, you'd think a bunch of computer specialists would be able to restore their website.
