It looks like they borrowed a little from the makers of Doom or Wolfenstein... the same principles were employed in those early 3D-like games. Still, impressive when applied automatically on the random images.

Was a little different... those games worked with tiles put together to render a 3D look. I used to edit those and put dirty pics on the walls of Castle Wolfenstien :-) Yes, I was a geeky teen...LOL

This takes one 2D image and interprolates it somehow into a 3D scene...quite impressive. Probably works a LOT better with photos with a deep DoF.

the manual technique for this effect is actually used in films a lot - not nearly that extreme of a move - but when you see an ariel shot of a city to establish location in a film, that is usually a stock still image projected on 3d environments -

I attended a symposium on how to accomplish this effect for film and video years ago. But the moves in this example are mind-bending - it will be interesting to see the real world application of this research.

Great link!

I agree, looks a little Splinter Cell/Doom-ish. It's way cool and would awesome to have and play with.

Funny comment someone posted on the vid...
"Identification and extrusion of flat planes is NOT 3D. This is called rotational panning, and it's not terribly clever. "

That's kind of true though.

"Researchers of Carnegie Mellon University has managed to teach a computer to recognize and transform 2D images into 3D"

Press Release article with examples.

Download the software FREE on this page. Has two animations that look ok as well. Below the software links there are longer movies of the process.

anyone gotten this to work?
10/22/2006 02:06:28 PM · #13
yes...you need the libraries as well if you didn't download them.
10/22/2006 02:15:20 PM · #14
wow!

i'd love to try that program with a few of my own images.

i'm downloading that 100Mb :)
it seems to be a program that you run from a command line

Yeah, I downloaded all that stuff, but still couldn't get it to work...

well, i don't know anything about libraries,computer code, etc. and i don't have time to learn it now. So unless anyone can give a step by step runthrough, this will have to wait until i have less homework. thanks, though for the download. I look forward to trying it.
