Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Bell and Jessica Alba all share one thing common: they’ve never done a nude scene in a movie, much to the dismay of men everywhere. However, thanks to a Brown professor, that’s all about to change – sort of.
Professor of Computer Science Michael Black and his associate, Alexandru Balan, have developed a sophisticated piece of software that can render an image of a person’s naked body by simply analyzing still images (all those paparazzi photographs, for example).
Of course, the details of a person’s figure—birthmarks, moles, scars, etc.—are lost in translation, but this, my friends, is the closest to seeing ScarJo’s voluptuous body you’ll ever get.
The Brown Daily Herald reports:
The result of their work is a program that allows the computer to "see" a person based on the input images and extract information about that person, such as height and waist measurements. The computer can determine a person's height to within a few millimeters of the actual value. Waist and chest sizes are more difficult to determine because they vary more based on the clothing somebody wears, so the program can determine someone's waist measurement to within one to two inches.
Is this mankind’s greatest invention? Yes; nothing even comes close today, but if x-ray glasses ever came to fruition, that might tip the scales in favor of the latter.
Sadly, this software is locked away in a research facility somewhere, and it will likely never see the light of day – unless someone infiltrates the facility and leaks it onto the Internet.
