Recently, Adobe and MIT developed a way to match a current photograph perfectly with an image of the same scene captured by a camera years ago. This is made possible through visual homing, a robotics technique commonly used for programming machines to go to a certain location automatically. The program works by comparing your camera’s view to existing pictures from the past and gives you positioning and zoom instructions so you can match past and present images of the same subject effectively.

Furthermore, such software is similar to an application like StreetMuseum but with greater capabilities. However, this app created by Adobe and MIT is currently just a laptop app but it certainly has the potential to be applied to digital cameras in the future. Thus, a day may soon come when we’ll have cameras capable of linking the past with the present in photography.
