We could certainly use faster blending. I don't think Enblend solves Poisson's equation, but it is gradient based and is pretty slow compared to other good blenders. This new method would seem to be be the state-of-the-art way to do gradient interpolation. But we have to remember that routing the seams is fundamental to good blending, no matter how slick the interpolation algorithm. The "matte extraction" part of the paper seems very relevant to that. > > I invited Zeev to join us and provided the link to this thread too. Thanks for making that contact.
