Photosketch, created by Tao Chen, Ming-Ming Cheng, Ping Tan, Ariel Shamir, and Shi-Min Hu at the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore.
In simplistic terms, here’s how it works. A user draws a sketch and gives a label to each object in it (ie. bike, birds, boat). Then, the sketch is transformed into an actual picture with real object by “seamlessly stiching a background and several foreground items from photographs retrieved from the Internet in accordance with the sketch and text labels.”
