Requested Youtube to do a 2D to 3D conversion of a (modified) 1080p capture of 'Hartverdrahtet' (my entry for the PC 4k intro competition @Revision 2012). Just wanted to test the automatic 3D up-conversion (stereo conversion) feature from Youtube. I guess they use some kind of "depth from motion" method to extract the depth-map, so I tried to help the alogrithm a little bit and removed the tv-scanlines and noise post-effect to get better correspondence between the matched image regions in successive frames. The result is quite amazing and comes really close to the real 3D rendering of 'Hartverdrahtet'.
