PhotoSketch: Create Pictures From Sketches Using Image Recognition

by Andy on Oct.06, 2009, under Social Media

A group of students in China have created PhotoSketch, a project that does exactly what I just described: it takes a rough, hand-drawn sketch, scours the web for photos that match, and runs them through an algorithm, stitching it all together. Check out this video on how to use it.

Update: Due to extremely high interest in this amazing system, the creators have taken down the site. I can’t wait to see what people dream up with this thing.
