Is this better than what was previously achievable using classical structure from motion? It seems worse because of extreme detail loss?

And if they're just plotting a smoothed but similar path through the scenery, didn't Microsoft do that in 2014 with Hyperlapse?

My grandmother's farm had to be sold in 2012 after she died. Since my family moved around when I was a kid, but always visited there for holidays, it felt more like home than any other place I lived in. I have extensive videos I recorded in 2006. It'd be wonderful to walk through there again using reconstructions from material I already have.

Or maybe not. There's a reason I haven't watched those videos in years. Who wants to remember the garden of Eden when you know you can't go back?

The renderings look a lot prettier but the 3D structure seems not really good.

Most nerfs use classical bundle adjustment (eg Colmap) as an initialization but this one does not, and the authors mention that they leave bundle adjustment for future work.

When you're young there's often nothing to look forward to but the future, so why revisit the past?

When you're old, your health is failing, and there's no future to look forward to, you're gonna want to look back in time -- maybe remember the better days of your youth.

I hate to be that person but https://kdenlive.org/en/developers-welcome/

This is research work. I don't suspect anyone currently has any plans to implement something like this into kdenlive.
