Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic; however you'll see these types of things pop up more and more.
Things to google for if you want to implement this yourself:
- "Point Matching" - when given two frames, which points are matching?
- "Five Point Relative Pose Problem" - this helps correlate camera motion from frame to frame when given 5 matching 2D points
- RANSAC - this helps filter out those matches that correspond to different moving objects - you'll burn through a lot of 5 point combinations and eventually the majority winner stays on.
Where I hope this area of technology goes is in the development of highly efficient HD codecs; I personally can't wait!
