Amplified motion

[Bruce Sherwood]

A friend pointed me to this fascinating work at MIT -- with a simple algorithm that looks at a video, tiny motions get amplified. You'll see for example blood flooding into and out of a person's face as the heart beats.

Wow! That's really neat. Has anyone looked at the algorithm yet? I wonder if it requires a reasonably good camera (i.e. low noise)? Or maybe that all gets averaged away?

It needs to become some kind of plugin for various video editors.
