I can't be the only one who read this as mating
- Al-Khwarizmi 6y agoYou aren't. In fact, as a non-native, it's difficult to not misread, as I didn't even know what matting was. And "real-time" and "human" go perfectly well with mating.
- emsy 6y agoSame hear, I call them Freudian misreads.
- coldtea 6y agoIt would be Freudian if there was some subconscious tendency at play to misread it. But here even though "mating" is sexual, the misread is quite easy and effortless because the word "matting" is an obscure industry term that looks totally like "mating"....
- TeMPOraL 6y agoCould be tiredness as well. When I saw the headline on the front page earlier, I read the word correctly. When I alt+tabbed to it just now, being tired, I did a double take because I read it as "mating".
- johnchristopher 6y agoIn french language we have the "lapsus révélateur" catch phrase to call such slips.
- cbanek 6y agoAnd here I read it as meeting. I'm glad I'm on vacation, but next week is the week of meetings...
- jacobush 6y agoThis tech will surely be used in a lot of video meetings
- mark-r 6y agoIt already is, or at least similar tech. I've used it in Zoom and Microsoft Teams to hide my background.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoWhat tech? There is no source on their github and natural image matting has been an area of constant research for 20 years. You can search for bayesian matting, poisson matting and closed form matting for early influential papers.
- p1mrx 6y agoHow is babby formed? Is a Green Screen Necessary for Real-Time Human Matting?
- gautamdivgi 6y agoLol, no. I read it that way too.
