Students at the University of Washington have produced impressive software to enhance video in several ways by introducing higher resolution/higher dynamic range photographs into the workflow:
The work presents a system for automatically producing a wide variety of video enhancements and visual effects. Unlike traditional visual effects software (e.g., After Effects, Shake, Boujou, etc), the system is completely automatic and no manual labor is required from the user. The major limitation of the work is that it can currently handle only videos of static scenes (i.e., videos shot with a moving camera but containing no moving objects in the scene). Efforts are being made to lift this restriction in future work.

Machine Thinking pal Eddie Codel was camera dude for BoingBoingtv’s episode filmed at the Long Now Foundation’s museum for the first ever Mechcanicrawl. Part One of this series covers the 10,000 year clock the Long Now Foundation is building to be squirreled away into a remote mountain.
Watch carefully at 2:14 at the video – yours truly makes a cameo appearance.

Del’s “Nutty Device” does absolutely nothing except amaze. Built with only wood and glue (including all the gears and chains) he has managed to incorporate a bewildering number of mechanisms and types of motion. Oh yeah, and it’s modular so he can take whole chunks off at once.
