Erasing Objects From Video In Real Time
Smoothly interpolating away objects in still pictures is impressive enough, but reader geoffbrecker writes with a stunning demonstration from Germany's Technical University of Ilmenau of on-the-fly erasure of selected objects in video. Quoting: "The effect is achieved by an image synthesizer that reduces the image quality, removes the object, and then increases the image quality back up. This all happens within 40 milliseconds, fast enough that the viewer doesn't notice any delay."
Sorry, I started to call bullshit at the "increase the quality back up" sentence. No-one worth their salt in video processing would ever use such a phrase.
What's your point? Was the news article written by one of the researchers, or a reporter, do you think?
You seem to have a delusion that the researchers who make discoveries that get reported in the press actually have control over how their research is described to the public. Calling bullshit on something because a reporter fucked up some terminology is kind of... simple minded.
