PhotoSketch: Internet Image Montage
Oh, that's rather cool, then:
I've seen various experiments at Adobe that fetch & automatically composite images, but the idea of basing searches on sketches is new to me. Details are in the researchers' paper (PDF).
Almost completely unrelated, but in the spirit of cool image science, during last night's sneak peeks at Adobe MAX, Dan Goldman showed a little taste of "PatchMatch" ("content-aware healing") integrated into Photoshop. (As always, no promises, this is just a test, yadda yadda.)

This technology is just awesome. It doesn't get any more intuitive then this!
Several colleagues and I have discussed this for years. OK, mostly fantasized. and no, I won't show you any of the sketches I've got waiting.
This is actually 10 or 20 yr old technology. I know someone who made a tool like this 10 yrs ago.
The problem is, most people can't really imagine what to sketch to work this kind of search, so it's a niche product, not mass market. But it's still fun to do it.
I don't really care for the identity gentrifying animations. I really would like to see more video overlays though.
Well now, that is really neat! Thanks for posting this.
If this works as described it will be world changing (well, at least my world). If it works well it could mean some art directors finally sending rough layouts that you can actually grasp. If it works too well it could mean a lot less jobs for a whole lot of people.

That would be US$ 4.00 sir."
I don't dig this kind of gig all that much, but it does provide income, so this feels unsettling thrilling.
