Making 3D Models from Video Clips

BoingBoing is covering an interesting piece of software called VideoTrace that allows you to easily create 3D models from the images in video clips. "The user interacts with VideoTrace by tracing the shape of the object to be modeled over one or more frames of the video. By interpreting the sketch drawn by the user in light of 3D information obtained from computer vision techniques, a small number of simple 2D interactions can be used to generate a realistic 3D model."

Re:Terrible link

Outside of /. this sort of news "wrapper" articles (BB or not) is considered a blog spam. There is absolutely no reason to link to a wrapper, when it just rehashes what's in the original article and then forwards to it for details (which is what a vast majority of readers would want anyways).
