Recently I wrote a blog about panoramic photography and about post processing. I found this related video above which was a part of my research in collaboration with Max Chen and Fredo Durand at MIT around 2000. This was the panorama that I took of the Omni Parker House Hotel mentioned in this post. This was created from a single panoramic image. I will certainly write more about this topic, but I want to drive home the fact that post processing of photographs is not limited to pixels and colors — geometry is certainly a part of it. Case and point — we live in a three-dimensional space and photos are projections of that captured light.

I love it! In Interior decoration as well as in Feng Shui, this type of images would be fabulous to use on every project.

Thanks! The idea was to create a “3D photoshop.”
