What if you could draw some stick figures on a screen and somehow magically create a beautiful image montage?
PhotoSketch: Internet Image Montage from tao chen on Vimeo.
Their abstract:
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.
Here is a link to the source code for the project if you want to tinker with it.
Mind-blowing, right?

Truely mind-blowing. Simply amzing.
Is this software available in the market? Where and at what cost?
Did you check the source code link? It just contains Windows executables, not source code at all.
