Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene


Original video source

This presentation is more like a Super Quickie. It’s a bit long and dry, but the University of Washington’s Computer Science & Engineering department is doing some amazing research that’s worth a gander if you’re at all technically inclined.

Thanks to Yotam Hadar for the linkage!

Unreal…. How long does it take to render? They should sell this technology to Adobe.

This is like PFTrack on super steroids. I want I want I want! I can’t wait to start seeing HDR movies. Too cool!

This is absolutely amazing. This needs to become commercially available, like, now.

you have to wonder how long something like this will take to trickle down to the common user. Its absolutely amazing stuff! That last part with the object removal was the biggest “wow” for me.

Hmm,I sort of remember the makers of Boujou working on something like this years back, well as far as the object removal, but the enhancement stuff is amazing! I wonder how long it will take for this stuff to go commercial. One things for sure, it’ll make some lives easier and perhaps put others out of work.

Holy Moly

The object removal I can do in Mokey as for the enhancement and shake in can also achieve similar results in Furnace and Nuke. It would be great to get this for a reasonable price though.

Зае@ись будет когда они это продавать будут … Хотя есть подозрение, что не от всех артефактов этот timeFlow (ну или как там его) спасать будет …

It reminded me of the Schwarzenegger movie “The running man” where they use a video technology to switch the head of a player on a video based on photographs :)

Ale
