Compiling Public Photos into Time-Lapses
Millions of photos are taken each and every day—many of them coming from the same scenic points at popular tourist attractions—and now, a team of developers from Google and the University of Washington have found a way to put those obligatory shots to use: through time-lapse imagery. By scanning image databases like Flickr and Picasa, the researchers were able to sort thousands of images by location and time and then collate them into seamless time-lapses. Drastic changes in landscape that would have gone unnoticed in individual photos are now beautifully revealed.
COOL HUNTING always gets permission to use the images we publish; however, as an independent publication, we cannot afford to continue fighting unfair claims of copyright infringement, so the images have been removed from this post.
