In just a few minutes, users can turn a photograph into a 3-D scene with lighting that makes synthetic objects look real.Making Old Photo Objects into 3-D real is child's play from now on.
If you can go IEEE Spectrum website (http://spectrum.ieee.org), they have an excellent interview of Kevin Karsch (http://kevinkarsch.com/), a computer science PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He and his collaborators have developed a method for inserting synthetic objects into photographs without having access to the original location.
By marking the rough physical geometry of the scene and the location of light sources within it, users can quickly add digital objects that behave as if they were in the original photo.
Karsch will present his work in Hong Kong next week, at SIGGRAPH Asia 2011.
