Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene

[hugsfornatalie]

This is very very frightening.

[mruef]

Very nice algorithm. CSI-like video enhancements are coming ;)

[Roshkin]

Just liked, favorited, subscribed, and now commented. This is mind-blowingly amazing. Imagine creating HD well-lit video footage from a cell phone camera. Or editing out the pedestrian that walks through your family video. Simply amazing.

[MRSstraightA]

When !!!

[Meja69]

Awesome. :)

[criminalistic]

you think you've seen it all with PhotoShop

Now introducing VIDEOShop

[Ozzy0sbourne]

wow i see alot of these amazing things but they never show the program -.-''

[monovich01]

they aren't released programs, they are in-development. Many are research based not for commercial consumption yet.

Hopefully the tech will get purchased or licensed by a big company (adobe) and get released to the foaming masses.

[benjaminschneiderGL]

OMFG!!! I can't believe it, GREEEAAAT!

[papakos2]

that's cool! It will surely become a success (when it will be available to the public... I'll be lookin forward! xD)!!

[54spiritedwill54]

This is incredible.

[milanbassa]

Insane. Hope is note fake. Flowers look like fake.

[whadang]

good luck buddy... i've just spent all weekend getting the first main file to work... i think it's a challenge since there ain't no docs... if it was easy, it'd be up on #1 download from google.

noticed it's not on vimeo where all the comments were=[

[quinn2469]

What OS is this for? I downloaded the zip file but don't see a program to open.  Is this Windows only?

[tehdog22]

well, just think why the "readme" is called readme???

the zip is the SOURCE CODE...

but i dont think you know what that is.

[ddRjM]

what you downloaded is the source code, dummuy... you have to compile it and hopefully get something you can run... :)

[quinn2469]

Thanks. I can't believe a fellow Portugy responded to my question! LOL! What part of Portugal are you from?

[quinn2469]

Oh, I get it! See, I thought it was in the past tense. I looked at it and thought I had already read it. Yeah, I have no idea what source code is. I don't spend enough time learning stuff like that. I'm too busy getting laid and not watching Star Wars. That was sarcasm :)

[Elvarks]

It's not released yet

[quinn2469]

This is amazing!

[TyrolMatze]

this is great work!

[Xteaphn]

Where can e get this?

[drlove21]

Go to the link in the video info, you can download a .zip file there.

[cortex71]

Superbe!!!

[tkktkt]

Imagine the possibilities if this was used for PORN!

No im kidding. great stuff man.

[oblenob]

This should become open source.

[SplinterCell37]

You guys are the future. I am in awe. This is...revolutionary!

[WoofManToronto]

Holy Crap! I want!!!

[dsjfh09kjmsd3kjh]

WOW

[asCii88]

you are math geniouses. kudos

[yoshfoods]

insane !!!!!!!!!!

[rushringleader]

This is the most intense thing ever.

[proent]

this is unbelievably amazing ...almost too good to be true! This will change the way movies are made

[whatatidymess]

Were can I get this software? Anyone??

[TehxNoob]

did u find what program he was usin?

[whatatidymess]

no, I don't think he's released it yet. :(

[Autopsy15]

This video program is still in development by students at the University of Washington. Obviously it's not available to the public yet.

[ClefPro]

holy crap.

[FlamingSnowman11]

This is incredible. As a serious photographer interested in video, I too would pay a lot for such an amazing development as this, and can only imagine the immense possibilites.

[atoloczko]

ultra ninja

[csselement]

video alchemy.

[Julesibulesi]

This is awesome, guys! Keep up the work and release it some time soon! :)

[superbobble]

So when is this released? its the most amazing video software ever, i would pay 10pounds for this =]

[darkdome]

where can i find a program like that!!? is so cool..

[jansenraveira]

Hi! Its amazing!!

How can I be a Beta tester?

[badaudio]

My mind has been blown.

[wuntrikpony]

i hope you become absolutely filthy rich over this work!

[pixelslinger]

This is great! PravinBhat, what's the website?

Thanks

[PravinBhat]

The url for the project website can be found in the video description section on the right (click on "more"). Youtube doesn't allow urls to be posted as comments.

[sjamesvfx]

As a compositor this is quite exciting to see. No more horrible paintouts! :D

[corybrad]

Wow, this is mind-blowing.

[PravinBhat]

Our new project attempts to make these effects work with dynamic scenes. I think if we accomplish this goal then we will see some real impact. The effects industry will actually want to implement such a system since it will work for dynamic scenes. I'm also trying to write the new code with the intention of releasing it as a user-friendly open-source beta. But it's hard to write research code with that goal in mind since the biggest payoff in research comes from quick and dirty prototyping.

[PravinBhat]

However, the spacetime fusion algorithm could be integrated into all video vfx packages right away because it works with dynamic scenes. Imagine editing a video in After Effects (e.g., say adding a decal on a moving car) and having your all your edits be consistent with the lighting in the scene.

[PravinBhat]

Ideally, a product team like Adobe would carry the torch from here on and create a professional quality implementation of the ideas presented in this work. But that's not likely to happen because the current work only handles static scenes.

[PravinBhat]

Unfortunately, all the software written for this project is research quality code. There is no UI, no error checking, and it's slow. I need to put in the engineering effort to create a user-friendly system around the research software and release it as an open-source beta. But that is going to be hard to do with the new research projects I'm working on.

[PravinBhat]

All the effects shown in this video were generated automatically using software we have developed. The details on how to implement the software/algorithms have been published in an EGSR paper which is available from our website.

[touchogrey]

So this is a paper theory of an algorithm you're proposing for this type of model? Or are these actual renders based on software you've made

Sounds like theory to me

I mean this is light years ahead of some of the best render software out there

[filipinofreak]

I reject your reality and substitute my own ;)

[TLynam]

Fantastic!

[toolfarm]

This is revolutionary. Freakin' fantastic.

[pvck]

My god. The potential applications to a glitch aesthetic.. yeah, I need to get my hands on this and do with it What Man Was Not Meant To. Here's looking forward to a public beta! ;>

[Matic3d]

The creative possibilities are huge, as is the potential to re-work and improve shots in post. Clearly given how this kind of technology is on the way it is wise to include some stills and HDR routinely as part of your shoot.

[jackhalfaprayer]

So, high-res photogrammetry auto-applied to video, pretty nifty. The auto-touchup of the tree is wicked.  Though it seems like it would be better to study digital cinematography and shoot a solid exposure in the first place.

[DK1242]

Unbelievable... Wow!! where can i get this software???

[rhettnyedotorg]

Wow. The absolute COOLEST thing i've ever seen. You rule.

[lqbe]

crazy! totally crazy man

[insipidfilms]

This is absolutely amazing! I can't wait to try this out.

Well done. Absolutely well done.
