Shervin kudos to you guys for taking a stab at something this complicated. obviously anyone versed in these matters realizes this is quite novel - they don't use photogrammetric tools since this is done only from one point of view. i understand (read the papers Dip linked to at the CMU website) they use something dubbed geometrical contexting where they basically assume that every photo has a 3D model consisting of sky, flat ground surface and vertical planes. they then analayze the phto and define the various regions and then basically define the bending points and morph the image onto the "assumed" 3d model - Shervin was that close to correct? Also i wonder if the process is indeed fully automated...i would assume that depending on the input image even the smartest algorithms could render silly results....if the Beta SW is client only and with no user intervention (read: they dont do any slash tech touchups in the server side) i would be even more impressed!! at any rate one wonders what would be the mass appeal of this technology - * Consumer level (Fliker)....well it seems that the main forte of the technology is well defined geometrical shapes. notice that the fine structure is lost (see trees and so on). Beyond that i assume that people will be distorted in this type of rendering (see the demo with the street and person standing on the left sidewalk)...and since most common photos people take and store have people in them this could be a big hindrance for wide spread sustained use. * Marketing - definitely. super cool effect that is probabaly very well suited to a world where 3D cameras are not yet abound!! * Real estate....again. big IF IMHO. as some people mentioned not only is fine detail lost here but there is very limited immersion effect and some distortion. Although this is indeed cool i am not sure what the added value will be over current solutions in this field like video tours, panoramas, flash and so on. there misght be a backlash against the lower preceived quality that these techniques yield (something like "no, no, dont worry the fireplace isn't a trapzoid...oh and that black patch in the right corner is just a rendering articaft". But i guess time will tell. obviously these are very talented guys and this is just preBeta. *gaming - interesting indeed. i guess only the creators can say what kind system requirements rae needed (MEM and MIPS wise) and how far this is from OTF level. Shervin - I wonder if you would care to comment? Especially on the human distortion issue. Mike So just my 2cents - this is really impressive and super cool.
