Taking A Trip In 3D -- Computer Scientist Composes 3D World From Snapshots

Description

Computer engineers have designed a program that can stitch together still photos of a the same area to form a comprehensive three-dimensional picture of it. The software looks for small details shared between photos and builds a video game-like 3-D picture. The user can see an entire scene, but also zoom in on individual photos for close-up views.
