Software crosses the Internet photos to create time-lapses – Digital Journal

Yesterday at 16:36

With video

 Every day, thousands of photos taken in many places are taken to the Internet. To connect these images and create a temporal documentation, Google and the University of Washington have created a software that combines public domain images taken in the same place and make time-lapses impressive showing from buildings to be constructed until the glaciers melt.
 

Called the “Miner of Time-Lapses”, the projceto already has an image bank of more than 86 million photos, taken from sites like Flickr and Picasa. The algorithm created by Google and the University is in a few hours a job that would take too long to be done manually.

“ultra-slow changes are documented by billions of photos that people take over time. Whereas, would take months or years to create time-lapses like these, we can now create almost instantly time-lapses of popular places on Earth.

Though he is agile, image processing takes a few hours. “A time-lapse photos with 1,000 takes about six hours to be computed on a machine ‘, say the engineers. The greatest difficulty facing the group is to choose a focal point to create time-lapse, since people photograph the same place from several different angles

Below is a video detailing the project:.
