Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pocket-sized squad at Google has published a research paper explaining how a serial of all the same images tin endure processed into a seamless video. In the video inward a higher house you lot tin encounter how the procedure tin endure used to plow a serial of Street View images into a flowing movie.
In the past times we've seen projects similar Street View Hyperlapse create animations from serial of side past times side Street Views. While Hyperlapse is incredibly clever the results are rather similar stop-motion animations. The brusk distance betwixt each side past times side Street View agency that the resulting animations tin appear a niggling jarring.
Google's novel DeepStereo genuinely creates novel images to create sum inward the gaps betwixt ii unlike images, resulting inward far smoother animations. As you lot tin encounter inward the video inward a higher house the procedure tin orbit real shine tracking shots. To 'fill inward the gaps' DeepStudio analyses the depth as well as color from ii side past times side Street View images to create a novel image. The procedure tin infer depth by comparing objects inward consecutive Street View images. Nearer objects volition displace farther from 1 icon to the following than objects farther away. DeepStudio is thus able to infer the color as well as crusade of the objects as well as create a novel icon predicting the persuasion betwixt the ii master copy images.
You tin imagine how Google Maps could move DeepDream to create seamless videos based on its existing Street View imagery. This would enable Google Maps, for example, to supply video previews of driving or walking routes.
However you lot shouldn't choke also excited only yet. Each novel icon created past times DeepDream currently takes near 12 minutes of processing. So nosotros won't encounter DeepDream implemented on Google Maps anytime soon.
