I belive it's done in the video effects software with a patented algorithm by neven vision. There is some open source that does similar things e.g. http://www.fuzzgun.btinternet.co.uk/rodney/humanbody.htm. There's also interesting research going on in similar areas, e.g. http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/ActiveVision/Projects/Human/human.html Mats _______________________________________________ vos-d mailing list vos-d@interreality.org http://www.interreality.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vos-d
