In a breakthrough that seems more science fiction than science fact, researchers at MIT have developed a model that can recover “lost dimensions” in images. Translation: it can recreate video from a motion-blurred photograph, and may some day be able to create a 3D scan from a 2D image. A paper about this breakthrough will […]
