Obstructions Vanish From Images Treated With New Software From MIT, Google : The Two-Way : NPR

Researchers at MIT and Google have created an algorithm that uses multiple images taken from different angles to separate foreground obstacles from the subject that's in the background — anything from your favorite view or a sign in a window on a bright day.

Interesting. Panasonic will come out with a set of lenses that will make it possible to refocus after the shot is taken.
