Remember the\u00a0Historypin<\/a> project I mentioned recently? Creating that kind of historical overlay is about to get easier.<\/p>\n

“Computational rephotography,” says Wired<\/a>, “is a fancy name for photos taken from the exact same viewpoint as an old photograph. Actually, that\u2019s just rephotography. The ‘computational’ part is when software helps out.”<\/p>\n

Adobe researcher Aseem Agarwala, together with MIT’s\u00a0Fr\u00e9do Durand and Soonmin Bae, are developing some interesting tech here:<\/p>\n

The team’s software runs on a laptop linked to a digital camera. The software compares the camera’s view to a preloaded historical scene and provides instructions to adjust the camera’s position and zoom to best match the scene.<\/p>\n

The laptop is a temporary measure, however: “We envision the tool running directly on the camera,” the team says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
