An application to simplify the editing of our souvenir videos

Imagine: there are several of you, each with their phone. And you are filming a party, a wedding or a birthday. Problem, when there are people, someone can always walk past and spoil the video. This program recovers the videos of all those who filmed then it will combine them and reconstruct the whole scene in 3D, so that we can then view it from any angle.

In fact, it works a bit like the 3D effect of Matrix. We will be able to turn everything around the one who blows out the candles for example. And therefore no longer be masked by the one who has passed in front of you.

It still depends on the number of phones that run around. If there are only two, the program will be more limited in the viewing angles it can calculate. But if there are enough around, the scene can really be viewed from anywhere. Even from where there was no camera. Finally, there is an option to automatically remove someone from the video if a camera has filmed what's behind it.

These are techniques that, until now, only existed in movie studios with very expensive equipment. But using artificial intelligence, we can now do it on cell phones that people hold in their hands. The program is called Open4D. It was developed by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University. But it is still a bit crude. So I advise you rather to wait until it is integrated into editing software. It will be easier to handle.
