This is so lifelike that its unreal!
...using a Optical Flow Algorithm...
Sounds like something Charlie Eppes from "Num3ers" would say.

I thought of some applications -
Good:
- Better "milk carton" pictures of missing kids with age progression and weight loss.
- Animated pictures of missing kids and crime suspects for the news. Adding different hair length and beards (no... not on kids).
- Making an otherwise unrecognizable face in a security video, recognizable.
Bad:
- Making a totally false video of a public figure, doing, saying or wearing something scandalous or damaging.

I hope that a "fake" video would be easy to debunk by the authorities. Otherwise, we could be watching Osama Bin Laden videos for a long, long time.

That really is amazing! It sort of renergizes your desire to do graphic work!!

It would be nice to read more about this. Is it being designed for public use or is it some sort of university development project?
