Photoshop Morphing into Videoshop?

Artificial intelligence researchers at Stanford U. have developed software that makes it easy to reach inside an existing video and place a photo on the wall so realistically that it looks like it was there from the beginning.




The photo is not layered on top of the existing video, but embedded in it. It works for PIP (picture-in-picture) videos as well — you can play a video on a wall inside your video.

This technology can cheaply do some of the tricks normally performed by expensive commercial editing systems. According to the researchers, "Anyone with a video camera
might earn some spending money by agreeing to have unobtrusive corporate logos placed inside their videos before they are posted online."
