I’m interested in the number of unsolved cases this tech will help solve.

  It might help a detective take a new look at a scene as if they were there. I suspect there are generally enough crime scene photos for a given crime. However, I’m not sure how admissible this would be as evidence given the somewhat generative nature. I would assume any lawyer would tear apart the fact that this is guesswork/estimation and not a known “truth”. Deblurring tech already exists to mathematically undo motion blur, but gaussian splatting would effectively be “creating” evidence. Allowing generated images like that to be considered evidence of crimes would be an incredibly dangerous precedent to set, in my opinion. But with this court, and the right case, dangerous, unpopular, and otherwise questionable precedents seem to be the name of the game these days. Especially when judges can be bought off without any repercussions.
