The new app allows you to remove the person from the video

Shelf means diphenol arrived – Jason Mace, a specialist in machine intelligence from Google, has developed a new tool to retouch the images on the screen. It allows you to completely remove the image of a man out of the frame, to create the illusion of its absence. The tool is created using Javascript and TensorFlow, and to test it through the app for the webcam "Disappearing People".

The method is that initially the camera shoots an empty room, created a detailed map of the visible image. Then, when the frame appears, the app calculates what pixels it covers, and replaces them with pixels from the reference card. Work is being done in real time, algorithms, is not yet perfect, and traces of human body movement is still noticeable. However, he's the retouched video is not visible, leaving no clues to identify the visitor.

Mace has designed the app from the creative and scientific interest, he did not specify its use.
