VideoTrace: Rapid interactive scene modeling from video

VideoTrace is a system for interactively generating realistic 3D models of objects from video—models that might be inserted into a video game, a simulation environment, or another video sequence. The user interacts with VideoTrace by tracing the shape of the object to be modelled over one or more frames of the video. By interpreting the sketch drawn by the user in light of 3D information obtained from computer vision techniques, a small number of simple 2D interactions can be used to generate a realistic 3D model.
Pretty cool technology, though stuff like this makes video manipulation increasingly easier, be ever more watchful for fake videos.

cool shit! The frustrating part of these kind of things is that it makes the list of programmes that I want to learn longer and longer...
