Pencigraphy: Image Composites from Video

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.

restoring old film/videos by cheezfreek · 2002-07-25 05:56 · Score: 0, Troll

I doubt this could be used to "restore" old film or videos to a higher resolution. From my understanding, that would require many different angles and positions. You can't just take a single camera position and improve the picture based just on that picture itself.
