Yet, we do know that our eyes reconstruct 3D scenes from various single snap shot images, just with one picture. Based on our perception and learning ability or our internal pattern recognition ability, a few groups of people have been trying to reconstruct a 3D image from one still image picture. Luckily you can test such progress, reconstructing a 3D scene from a single still image at Make3D (a click brings you to Make3D at Stanford).

Among thousands of pictures, there are only a few astronomical pictures, a few galaxies and a nebula and reconstructing 3D astronomical scenes from these small number of single still images is disappointing to me compared to other types of images. Astronomers, if you have some images – I’m particularly interested in images of solar activities, though – would you try Make3D? Who knows, virtually you can travel through coronal loops!
