Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed techniques to let computers find appropriate matches of imagery that can be added to a photo, matching lighting, perspective and other parameters. In this instance, the computer sifted through a large database of images of people and found ones that could be grafted into an image of Abbey Road, the street immortalized by The Beatles' Abbey Road album cover. Researchers call this technology Photo Clip Art.
