Rephotography
The Refotografie or Rephotography is the repeated inclusion of the same subject, which was already recorded at an earlier time. Frequently old city views are used as a template - for lack of access to other traditional images often of old postcards. The fundamental aspect of Refotografierens lies in the apparent difference between the two recordings.
Implementation
First, a suitable image is required, which was recorded some time ago, with not the interval is crucial, but the difference with the new image. It is convenient to perform as accurately as possible the location on a Refotografie from which the original image has been photographed. Here, the photographer can be based on edges, corners and other environmental features.
Developers of MIT and Adobe Systems have developed a software that compares the live image of a digital camera with an old photo, and thus the photographer instructs how he should hold the camera for an optimized result. They call this technique Computational Rephotography.
Presence in everyday life
The proliferation of
The historypin [web 1] project provides a service available that allows old pictures to put as a plane on Google Street View maps. There you can also upload your own old pictures.
