or here for direct link to video

Only downside is it only works in static scenes for now with no moving objects.

But "Efforts are being made to lift this restriction in future work."

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Ridonkulous.

 

[Escape Goat]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[kozmo7]

I didn't understand at all how that worked but that was awesome.

Edit: Ok, what the fuck, it removed that parking sign.

 

[Formless]

Wow.

 

[sky]

That's really neat.

This + that MS mosaic technique from earlier... GAF's future GIFs are going to be crazy!

 

[Shiggie]

Wow Videoshop.

 

[rollingstart]

Porn is going to get awesome with this.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I didn't understand at all how that worked but that was awesome.
.

yea, not entirely sure of the significance of this.

 

[Ether_Snake]

yea, not entirely sure of the significance of this.

It's video editing. Like one corrects photos or some such, but for videos, and giving you more possibilities.

 

[milanbaros]

Wow, that looked great.

Would this work?

Low res movie and say 1 high res frame for every 24 = HD movie.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Porn is going to get awesome with this.

Completely remove the dude from the scene and see a chick getting plowed by no one!

hmm....so now I won't be able to trust anything I see!

 

[Boards of Canada]

That is INCREDIBLE! I'm glad there are people out there who are WAY smarter than me.

[OatmealMu]

The steadicam-esque shot was almost too smooth. Kind of eerie, actually.

 

[FF_VIII]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[kozmo7]

Completely remove the dude from the scene and see a chick getting plowed by no one!

:lol :lol :lol

Oh God the imagery

 

[SRG01]

The limitation is that it only works for static imagery.

Basically, it's an interpolation method where they alter the scenery frame by frame.

 

[JCtheMC]

I want this in my videocam NAO!

 

[black_13]

Basically photoshop for videos....and its about damn time.

Now nothing on the internet will can be considered real.

 

[Zombie James]

Amazing.

 

[rollingstart]

Completely remove the dude from the scene and see a chick getting plowed by no one!

That would be amazing. The new camera angles that will emerge from this are going to revolutionize the industry.

Now all they need is a Smell-O-Vision

 

[layzie1989]

Wow...this is amazing...I can't wait to see what else people can do with this software... :O

 

[I_D]

Completely remove the dude from the scene and see a chick getting plowed by no one!

They already fake the orgasms..

Not having a guy at all would be ironically more appropriate. :lol

 

[ZealousD]

Completely remove the dude from the scene and see a chick getting plowed by no one!

For static scenes.

 

[S. L.]

wow pretty amazing stuff.

the geometry estimation from video and pictures impresses me.

 

[VNZ]

Holy mackerel! I can't wait to play around with this/similar technology.

 

[gantz85]

AMAZING

Object removal is by far the craziest shit I've seen

 

[Ogni-XR21]

I said WOW!

 

[Deleted member 22576]

This results look like nothing more than taking a photograph and panning the camera around it.
Like those shows on the history channel.

 

[genjiZERO]

that's really cool

 

[davepoobond]

interesting...

 

[Schrade]

Has anyone heard anything more on this? This technology seemed so damn awesome but I can't find anything new on it anywhere

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

thats pretty neat

 

[UltimaPooh]

It's cool... but I dunno how useful it will be.

Most professionals will have an HD camera and now how to work with the settings to get what they want out of the photographic quality.

This seems like something for the mainstream to make their videos look better.

 

[Mik2121]

That's mindblowingly AMAZING.

 

[Raistlin]

holy fuck ._0

 

[rex64]

Porn is going to get awesome with this.

can't wait

For resolution, this could be really helpful for location shots that make using a film quality HD camera difficult. There are movies out there that have certain scenes using a 1080i digital camera, and you can definitely notice the resolution drop between those and other scenes.


More importantly, getting lighting (particularly natural lighting) correct in scenes can be very difficult. You can't control mother nature. This could prove extremely useful both in terms of costs, and in terms of absolute quality.

 

[kkaabboomm]

the best IMO was the removal of the parking sign+pole from the flower shop.

Hm, i think it's more than that. It's actually a way to have awesome special effects and revolutionary freedom in every movie...

 

[Epcott]

shit just got real











Now where is this for Mac and Windows?

 

[Dabookerman]

That is really awesome.

 

[wenis]

did they use after effects to build this presentation?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Wow that was amazing. I have never immediately been willing to pay for something that quickly in all my life. Please release this soon.

 

[joshcryer]

Source code is available on their website. I expect an open source editing program to incorporate it or a varient of it in some form or another in due time. Cool stuff.

 

[deadhorse32]

The follow up

http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/enhancing-spacetime/ EVEN MORE WOW

 

[MickeyKnox]

Fucking crazy.

If/when they get this to work for dynamic scenes, it'll be the biggest thing to happen to film/video in a long time.
