The New York Times, that is.  In what can only be perceived as the deepest form of flattery, last week the NY Times wrote a full length article on the “beautification algorithm”; the exact same paper that we wrote about 2 months ago.  Personally, I was excited to see a major mainstream publication taking an interest in computer vision, and I hope that our field continues to push into the thoughts of those who are not working directly in it.

Most folks that I encounter who aren’t working directly in computer vision or computer science are unfamiliar with the field entirely, and, more importantly, are unaware of the amazing things that can and are being done with computer vision today.  In my own experience, some of the best ideas come from those who are not the scientists directly doing the research, but who are working on something completely different yet see the potential of the research in their own, seemingly unrelated, application.  So, New York Times, show the potential of computer vision to the world!  And any time you need inspiration for an article, we will be flattered if you come check by ENLIGHTEN3D.
