Sketch2Photo: Internet Image Montage from Tao Chen on Vimeo.
I read about this program on Gizmodo and it is amazing. In Sketch2Photo, you create a very crude drawing on the software and label each drawing with a text label. The software will then scour the web for images that will match your drawing and text labels. These images are then fused together to create a complete image. I’m not sure how they wrote the code for this program, but it seems to be another positive step towards creating a better way to classify images on the Internet and making it useful for the user.

This is a great animation explaining the beginning of the credit crisis…it’s too bad no one figured this out before…
