Photosynth

August 14th, 2006

Recently announced Photosynth, from Microsoft Live Labs, takes a collection of photos of a place or object, analyzes them for similarities, and displays them in a reconstructed 3-Dimensional space.

The first prototype to come out of Microsoft Live Labs, Photosynth is based on a research paper entitled “Photo Tourism: Exploring Photo Collections in 3D”.

It doesn’t appear to be something which attempts to re-construct a 3D model from photographs in the way that some packages do, such as PhotoModeler, rather it seems to present a new mechanism for displaying and browsing photographs.
