Dust on your footage? Here's a very useful program for anyone who's been working on the tedious process of removal of objects from filmed footage. Pixeldust automates this task and rebuilds the background to replace the removed objects. Pixeldust uses vision science technology to provide automated assistance in a time-consuming post-production task. With little or no interaction required from the user, Pixeldust can remove any or all moving or still foreground objects from a scene and reconstruct the obscured parts of the background. Pixeldust is schedule to ship in Q4 2002 for the Windows and Linux platforms.
