I'm having a very hard time believing that this is real. If it is, they have just made breakthroughs in multiple domains in computer graphics, recognition, and composition at the same time. Here's hoping it's real.
I agree... But they have the source available if you can get to the site. Otherwise, here's the Google cache link: http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:http://cg.cs.tsinghua.ed...

Edit
The official site of the plugin is definitely down. Its probably overloaded by all the people who are interested in checking it out. ;)

Now, as hard as what's been done on the algorithms side, someone has to figure out a usable user interface for these tools, so that regular people can play with them.

A few times in the past few months the question of whether "all the good stuff" has been discovered or whether there's no progress left to be made came up, and computer vision has been one of my go-to examples of a field that has just been booming lately. Interestingly, digging in shows that it's still not "AI", just as you don't see any "AI" here, but there's still been a qualitative sea change in the past few years. I think the fact that a $1000 machine is now unbelievably powerful has been a real boon for the field.
However, I wonder about this technology being used for evil (custom porn). =/
EDIT: gee guys, the smiley should tell you this ^ is not a serious complaint. I thought people might actually be interested in reading the actual paper v, since project page link has been inaccessible. Sheesh.
Site is down but this is the Siggraph paper: http://www.ece.nus.edu.sg/stfpage/eletp/Papers/sigasia09_pho...
I have downloaded the binaries (also requires openCV1.1, recently updated OpenCV2.0 doesn't work) and have made some progress, though it's very clunky and the instructions are, um...lacking. http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/ http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/

The download doesn't include source. It does include 5 executables totaling ~140k. I am not quite brave enough to run them but I did run them through strings, and a cursory inspection suggests either that they're either attempting to do what they're claimed to do or they're the best disguised malware in history.
