Amplifying — or removing — visual variation
Algorithms could offer new tools for graphics software or reveal structural defects.
System automatically converts 2-D video to 3-D
Exploiting video game software yields broadcast-quality 3-D video of soccer games in real time.
Untangling how cables coil
A simulation technology from movies is used to predict coiling patterns in the lab.
Can we see the arrow of time?
Algorithm can determine, with 80 percent accuracy, whether video is running forward or backward.

After doing groundbreaking work in computational photography, the Media Lab researcher has trained his sights on inventing ‘brand new disciplines.’
Faster computer graphics
Digitally mimicking the photographic blur caused by moving objects is surprisingly hard, but new research offers ways to make it easier.
No backtalk
One key to making parallel algorithms efficient is to minimize the amount of communication between cores.
