Microsoft Tech Can Deblur Images Automatically

Posted by timothy on from the pleasantly-awesome dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At the annual SIGGRAPH show, Microsoft Research showed new technology that can remove the blur from images on your camera or phone using on-board sensors — the same sensors currently added to the iPhone 4. No more blurry low light photos!"

    I bet it can remove the blur from the titlebar for screenshots of a Windows 7 app. Now we can all see what those developers are viewing behind that window!

    Probably only half-working coming from microsoft

    It could be worse... the GIMP developers could have built it, in which case it would be a mostly working implementation of half the features of some existing software. However, nobody would realize this since only the developers would be able to comprehend the UI.

    If you don't like the GUI, there's always the Lisp interface. If another OSS project gets named after a disability, I'm sure the gimp devs will incorporate it somehow.

    Now they just need to attach this to Ballmer's head to deblur the company vision a little.
