Pencigraphy: Image Composites from Video

Posted by timothy on Thursday July 25, 2002 @05:51AM from the beats-the-heck-out-of-colorization dept.

jafuser writes: "Prof. Steve Mann (of cyborg fame) has a detailed technical description on his site that demonstrates a method of transforming video into a high resolution composite image. Pictures are seamlessly mosaiced together to form one larger picture of the scene. Portions of the video that were "zoomed in" will result in a much clearer region in the final picture. I wonder if this could be used in a linear sequence to 'restore' old video to higher resolutions? It's on sourceforge; download and play!" Mann has been experimenting with such composites using personal video cameras for years.

Please stop with the all your base shit. It stopped being funny about 15 minutes after the shockwave file was released.

Thx.

Could someone please explain to me why the parent comment was moderated (-1, Troll)? I didn't mean to breach some sort of etiquette by explaining my understanding of things.
