Rendering Synthetic Objects into Legacy Photographs from Kevin Karsch on Vimeo.
We always get a laugh when news organizations or governments try to pass off bad Photoshop jobs as real images, but with the way graphics technology is advancing, bad Photoshop jobs may soon become a thing of the past. Here’s a fascinating demo into technology that can quickly and realistically insert fake 3D objects into photographs — lighting, shading and all. Aside from a few annotations provided by the user (e.g. where the light sources are), the software doesn’t need to know anything about the images. Mind-blowing stuff…
very interesting!
ReplyDeletejust to mention that (in the context of video description) one still need to be able to make a very good 3D model of the object that needs to be placed in the scenery.
