Having seen the state-of-the-art in action (<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.00730" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.00730</a>) I find the results pretty disappointing. Is there anything I miss?
This was a gear deal more impressive than I expected! I tried a couple of images and it got the depth very close on one and almost perfect on the other. It's weird to be able to change the perspective of an image of a place I know and it be as accurate as it is! Kudos.
Reminds me on disneys research, where you take a single picture of your smile and get a full blown 3D teeth reconstruction.<p><a href="https://www.disneyresearch.com/publication/model-based-teeth-reconstruction/" rel="nofollow">https://www.disneyresearch.com/publication/model-based-teeth...</a>
Once tech advances a bit further and we can quickly generate good 3d environments from movies, we will have so many great worlds to experience in VR - it will be amazing.
Incredible. I sincerely believe advances in computer vision will be dependent on creating a 3d 'mental model' of imagery/video.<p>What happens when you give it images that fool people? For example the infamous Escher drawings.
