Just so it's clear: the median filter way of doing this doesn't rely on finding two images with non-overlapping people, it uses the open spaces from all the images. As such, you don't need an exponentially growing number of images.
You'll still run into issues with two things:
1. Someone napping or being otherwise still throughout your photos will show up in the finished product.
2. Systems which are stationary but put out a lot of internal movement (trees, video screens) will likely show up as random-colored pixels within the range of their colors. For trees this would look like a blur. For TV screens it would probably end up gray-ish or staticky.
- unicornporn 12y agoI think the best solution for tree blur would be to (after applying the median stack mode) add any picture in the stack (that has clear trees) and use a layer mask to just paint the trees in.
- alephnil 12y agoThis remind me how the first picture of a human was being taken. Louis Daguerre took pictures of busy streets in Paris, but because the photographs had an exposure time of around 15 minutes, the streets looked empty. The exception was a guy that had his shoes shined, since he had been standing still for the period the picture was taken. http://petapixel.com/2010/10/27/first-ever-photograph-of-a-human-being/ http://petapixel.com/2010/10/27/first-ever-photograph-of-a-h... This can be considered a kind of analog filter (would this not be an average rather than median filter?)
