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.
