Sketches can be rendered into full-blown PS images
A group of researchers from a number of universities have invented a system that through stick figure drawings, it can select relevant imagery from the web to create photo montages. I’m not sure if this is good or not, view the video and post your opinion. Thanks!
Official notes from the project creators:
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.
