Convert 2D pictures in 3D format
A team of CompSci researchers at Stanford have developed a tool that can convert 2D pictures in 3D objects. By comparing pictures they took around the campus to laser scanners, they created an algorithm that reflected the links between these two types of representations.
An online tool allows everyone to give it a try. I submitted a picture taken at the Louvre museum in 2006. Unfortunately, I got a processing error both times I tried.
[...] They developed an application that try to render 2D pictures in a 3D format. You can read about my failures while trying their online tool and then my successes - or the other way [...]
