Moving, Morphing, Merging
- methods and consequences of transitioning from 2D image to 2D image
Intro (michael)
“Merging Video with Maps” in yesterday’s Technology Review
What is frame rate?
What’s a nodal point?
Moving Through Space (James)
Walking with a camera
- Image Stabilization
- Steadicam (video demo)
- Demo of Steadicam
Gyro stabilizers
- some systems
- some clips
- Planet Earth’s capture of one-of-a-kind view of wild dogs hunting impala in the African plains.
Motion Control
- demo using chroma key

Morphing (James)
- Image Morping
- Advent of software-generated morphing – Michael Jackson’s “Black & White” – at 5:27
- MorphThing – morphing your own images
- View Synthesis
- BBC Research on the topic – iView

Merging images (Matt)
Panoramas (how to tile best?)
- Panorama cam – camera 1, camera 2, camera 3, application 1, application 2, application 3
- Panoramic Tiling: (lots on this) QuickTimeVR, GigaPan, http://www.panoguide.com
: What is Panorama? What is Stitching? What is Parallax? more parallax
artist David Rokeby using panorama over time: old, new
Moviemaps (how to move from image to image best?)
- Streetview, Everyscape (http://allthingsv.com/ blog by Everyscape founder)
- Mapjack, Earthmine, City8 (China), Yandex and NORC (Russian)
- another russian streetview: http://www.gdeetotdom.ru/map/
- DIY rig already posted on the blog
Feature Matching (how computers can help)
- SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transformation) (teaser for next section)
