Flickr and Photosynth

Flickr is one of my favorite all-time web services, and I confess a fascination for the big screen some commands people see Flickr with maps, Flickr photos and location data. You can imagine my excitement last week as Popular Science has presented a play about how a team from Washington University in Rome re-created automatically with graphic images from Flickr. The team took 150,000 photographs from Flickr users and use of custom algorithms automatically re-creates Rome with 500 computers and 13 hours of processing time. It was even better, and also recreates the city of Venice is slowly sinking, which constructs a 3D virtual model of 250,000 photos in less than a day.
 
 Now you're probably saying, "It's an incredibly long time to go" - but the team is promoting the speed of 3D model building here too. The technology used in the Microsoft product Photosynth (which come as the research laboratory as well) had a year to automatically build a 3D model of Venice.
 
 Be sure to check out the video views in the popular science website and see the final results of the library Flickr - the team set their sights on a foundation of millions of image of a city report on the future, so I hope that many more of these to come!
