Google and MIT combine to develop reflection-free window photos
What a time to be alive
Google and MIT have joined forces to defeat one of photography's great irritants: window reflections.
To win over a generation of budding digital photographers, the internet giant and elite scientific institute have developed an algorithm that gets rid of unwanted visual elements in an image.
By using framing from a short video to separate the foreground from the background, you can scrap practically any kind of visual obstruction — from rain drops to chain link fences.
Best of all, the technique can capture an clear image of any reflection.
Instagrammers everywhere thank you.
