Computers Turn Flat Photos into 3-D Buildings (New York Times)

February 23, 2010 -- Rome wasn’t built in a day, but in cyberspace it might be.

The new system, PhotoCity, grew from the original work of a Cornell computer scientist, Noah Snavely, who while working on his Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Washington, developed a set of algorithms that generated three-dimensional models from unstructured collections of two-dimensional photos.
