Comment Feed for Channel 9 - TechFest 2010: Microsoft ICE - Image Composite Editor http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/533780_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - TechFest 2010: Microsoft ICE - Image Composite Editor Today I'd like to introduce you to another piece of new technology from Microsoft Research Labs – Image Composite Editor (ICE) with Multi-Image Fusion.  In the current version of ICE, it provides advanced features for panoramic stitching such as choosing the stitch’s orientation, custom projection, and selecting a 360 stitch’s mid-point, and this tool also integrates nicely as a plug-in into Windows Live Photo Gallery. Here we’ll show you some of the upcoming new features in ICE such as: Structured Panoramas Stitching Panoramas from Video Sharp Panoramas from Blurry Videos Creating Photographs from Videos Multi-Image Denoising and Sharpening using Lucky Imaging en Thu, 23 May 2013 00:21:22 GMT Thu, 23 May 2013 00:21:22 GMT Rev9 Re: TechFest 2010: Microsoft ICE - Image Composite Editor Just extrapolating this, forgive me, but stills from video > Photosynth > point cloud > 3D mesh > automatons with cheap camera eyes > robots that understand their spacial environment in great detail > autopiloted vehicles > world domination.

 

Seriously, and a little digressively, this and the other work in 3D interpretation of a scene has huge potential in remote control systems and orientation of automated devices. Does NASA have this kind of technology in the Mars rover?

Was this a find-what's-wrong test?

I only see the one from 2008.

I love ICE. I am using the 2008 build now. Unless this is considered "new technology" now.

I remember seeing Lowry Digital demonstrate the idea some time ago. The difference is, of course, that their services are not quite a free download from Microsoft away.

 

I'm going to have to agree with Sialivi and Intelman on the download front. Places I've fruitlessly looked at so far include:

 

Please ping me back when ICE 2.0 is ready for download. @natelawrence

 

Also, please try to get a nice clean high res shot of the URL to that beta version of the Photosynth site.  Devil

 

Maybe if I can ever download ICE 2.0, I can run the image sequence from this video through and recover the URL through all the low-res grain and overexposure on the address bar. Cool

I discovered this last September (older version) - promptly took my camera up to the Malverns Hills, shot a panarama, came back, stitched it using ICE, was bowled over, promptly went out and bought a new camera with a better zoom!

 

OK, so I havn't been up the Malverns again yet (actually I have but not to the right spot -but  you really wanted to know that).

 

Here is my initial stitch, I will post an improved one with the new camera, (hopefully soon).

 

http://FromTheMalverns.com/ICE" target="_">http://FromTheMalverns.com/ICE

 

I'm hoping to incorporate these shots into http://FromTheMalverns.com - the one above is taken from roughly the same spot as the initial shot  - taken 75 years ago!

 

PS From what I understand you can now buy a unit for your SLR that will take the panaramic shots for you, all carefully calibrated to overlap by just the right amount!?

 

 

PPS I was at the imaging event yesterday (see here) Microsoft should have been there with this and their other photo related tools.  I'm quite sure there would have been a lot of interest!

I know when ripped some cds back in the day there was a option to normalize, I guess that is what I'm talking about?

 

Maybe this technology already exists it just wasn't used on this video prior to publishing?
