Object Removal Example.

The Vanishing Lady.

Michal is not here anymore. She has left our lab first to Sarnoff and now to the Weizmann Institute.

We wish to erase Michal from our movie as well

First we need to be able to now which part of our image is Michal.

How do we identify Michal?

Using optical-flow we can identify and track a moving object. On top we see the original video, on bottom we blacken all the pixels belonging to Michal, our moving object.

The black doesn't look too good

But if we know which pixels are Michal and which are not we can use pixels from subsequent frames to substitute for the black pixels.

Michal has disappeared!!!
