This is quite amazing! I was thinking if you could use this application with a video based security could you reduce the amount of disk space required.
Thoughts?
I'm sure there are other applications as well
That makes me shudder. Security footage "compressed" this way wouldn't stand up in court (I hope); did the guy on the tape really do that, or did the algorithm just fill it in?
Also optical flow really doesn't handle occlusions very well, so if one thing obscures another you'll get lots of artifacts.
