This is awesome – not very functional yet, obviously, but still.

It’s a neat concept, though right now I’d say the results are still hit-and-miss. I don’t know if it has more to do with the size of the database available to it or with the algorithm.

It works primarily, I think, by matching colors rather than outlines. I first tried it with some simple black-and-white sketches and all I got were black-and-white photos.

I have wondered often if there was a way to find an image or identify one by scanning in a photo. This is not quite the same, but you could try a rough drawing and see if someone has photographed and named say, a statue or a building or a type of animal or plant.
