Fotowoosh extracts 3D from 2D images

April 25th, 2007 | Under UI |


Fotowoosh uses algorithms that, according to their creators, simulates “this amazing ability of humans [that] comes from years of experience of living in a highly structured world, in which most scenes consist of vertical objects resting on a ground plane”. (…) if we can determine where the vertical surfaces contact the ground in the image, we can recover the depth of those surfaces (up to a scale), giving us a 3D model.”

That’s interesting, Heri. A majority of innovations are “just” inspired application of previous ideas… Eventually, what really matters is: who is going to deliver the real thing. Who is going to put the concept on the market.
