This is very impressive, but were the fingers behind the paper crane drawn in by hand? I don't see how any algorithm could create that kind of content.
I'd really like to see a video of someone starting with an image and using these algorithms and tools to create one of these effects from start to finish.

- nkurz 12y agoIn the full paper they say "We use a separately captured background photograph for the chair, while for all other photos, we fill the background using Context-Aware Fill in Photoshop." So I think the fingers indeed were filled in algorithmically. This is plausible since, as best as I can tell, current Context Aware Fill algorithms are based on magic. Follow some of the links here for examples and detailed explanation: http://www.adobe.com/technology/projects/content-aware-fill.html http://www.adobe.com/technology/projects/content-aware-fill....
- dchichkov 12y agoYes, they are based on magic! As per wikipedia. Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the ability to form new images and sensations that are not perceived through senses such as sight, hearing, or other senses. Imagination is magic. Everyone knows that. So any generative model in general is ;)
