PhotoSketch
by karlcow
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.
TuFuse: Exposure and Focus Blending Software
by Yann_L
TuFuse is a Windows command line program that creates extended dynamic range ("exposure blended") and extended depth of field ("focus blended") images. TuFuse uses a technique known as Image Fusion to combine the "best exposed" and/or "best focused" regions of multiple images into a single "fused" composite image
The Fall

Award winning music video, commercial and film director Tarsem Singh (The Cell) creates a moving and seamless blending of mundane life in a 1915 Los Angeles hospital with a visually sumptuous fantasy world of exotic bandits, evil tyrants, dream-like palaces and breathtaking landscapes...
3D Dewey Visualization : Reza with Processing
by karlcow
For my final project for MAT 259 (Data Visualization) I wanted to explore the topics of 3D Space, particle systems, OpenGL and java, alpha blending, bill boarding, user interactivity, self-organizing algorithms (Kohonen), and electromagnetic attractions and repulsion. The end result is what you see above and below. I used one year of transaction data (books, DVDs, etc) from the Seattle Public Library to drive the visualization. Each particle/sphere is given properties, such as what category/subcategory it represents and how many items where checked out in that category. This is used to drive the physics system that is used to separate the nodes evenly on the surface of the sphere, moreover I wrote a Kohonen-like to cluster the nodes that are related (same category) together. The visualization is interactive; it allows the user to manipulate how they see the data and the properties of the system.

HDR photo software & plugin - Tone Mapping, Exposure Blending & HDR Imaging for photography
by jpcaruana
& 2 others
If you have ever photographed a high contrast scene, you know that even the best exposure will typically have blown out highlights and flat shadows. Photomatix offers two ways to solve this problem:
› Exposure Blending: Merge differently exposed photographs into one image with increased dynamic range.
› Tone Mapping: Reveal highlight and shadow details in an HDR image created from multiple exposures. The tone mapped image is ready for printing while showing the complete dynamic range captured.

Turn is the world's first automatic targeting, bidded CPA ad network. Which means advertisers can enjoy benefits that no other advertising network can deliver: bidded CPA pricing to eliminate risk, blended targeting to increase relevance, and automatic targeting to simplify campaign management. The result: better performance and higher return on investment.
At Turn, everything we do is focused on the goals you want to achieve—from site visit to product purchase to lead generation—and the price you want to pay.
Our advanced targeting technology goes beyond manual targeting by blending site analysis, past performance, categories, audience, and over 60 other variables to select the most relevant graphical and text ads.
And everything is automatic. Turn's technology dynamically selects and weights these variables to determine the best targets for each ad, eliminating the guesswork, time and complexity of manual targeting. What's more, with CPA pricing, you won't ever have to worry about paying for worthless or fraudulent clicks.
