You can do it in photoshop can you not? Yes you can, you take a few pictures from the side and basically fuse it into the one photo. All this does in the video is taking images from the angles that see behind the sign, removes the section where the sign is, then makes a finished image based on the the surrounding background and angled shots where you can see behind the sign. If you find it hard to believe, it's only because you don't know how it works. How can anyone say the object removal part is hard to believe? You can do it in photoshop can you not?

However when I see this, I can't help but to think about the abuse and purposeful deceptions that can be disseminated to the public. I recognize that the same capability exists with still photos, but video is always more convincing. Imagine this software being used on video from Iraq that would otherwise show the carnage of war? Believe me, as a photographer I am eagerly awaiting a production release of this technology so I can improve the quality of my work. I simply anticipate the inevitable realities of it's capabilities.

Wow. I wish this could get to the market sooner preferably now. Daniel That was without doubt the most amazing thing I have ever seen done with a video. Wow.

As a complete system, this can have a major commercial impact on Hollywood and special effect for the movies. I particularly loved their (dynamic) texture mapping :-) Cut and paste 3D objects into each frame and... wow :-) Cheers, E Once you are able to do the SFM (structure from montion) for the video and the picture and build the 3D, removing the poles and certain objects can actually be the easier part of the process (as long as you don’t have permanent occlusions).

The parking sign one is pretty hard to believe, I'd have to see the software do it with my own eyes. Wow, that’s insane!

That what I'm talkin about. Ideally the high res photography camera and the video camera should be the same unit. Maybe taking a high res photo every second or two as a key frame while contiuously recording the video. Maybe even dynamically changing the rate of the High res camera dependent on the difference frame to frame. Very cool. I wish I'd done it. I think I also see that there technology is somewhat dependednt on side to side movement. I have made 3D movies out of 2D video using a similar technique. Frickin magic. That what I’m talkin about.
