I don't get how this is going to replace photoshop. The images will not look as good, or as clean as a regular photoshopped image, I doubt that automated image editing is that advanced right now. The examples they gave, is probably the best that was available, I bet on average, the results don't look nearly as good or clean. But hey, I could be wrong.

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...

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.

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.nu…

> the smiley should tell you this ^ is not a serious complaint. Then why put the link at all?

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.

Surprisingly, not really. Computer vision has been moving along lately. This is good stuff, but incremental progress against the backdrop of other good stuff in the field. 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…

We've been seeing some pretty fascinating developments in graphics and pattern recognition recently. A few days ago someone submitted that amazing Photoshop plugin that allows you to select a region and move it around seamlessly, and also fill in areas seamlessly. The demo showed the software filling in the broken areas of the Pantheon and the results were quite impressive. A combination of both technologies would be…

Just FYI, that stuff to which you refer is a teaser for CS5, the next iteration of Photoshop...due around April, most likely.
