Photography algorithm alters perspective after images are captured
Combining multiple photographs to create a new image isn't uncommon, but researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in partnership with NVIDIA have come up with a a pretty wild new technique to create entirely new compositions. It's called "computational zoom," and it promises to let photographers adjust the focal length (which basically amounts to the magnification of an image when you shoot) after the fact. The UCSB researchers have basically come up with a way to combine images that merge both telephoto and wide-angle shots to come up with entirely new compositions.
