I've seen some software that automatically tires to correct for e shutter creates problems in videos.

Do we think some (maybe not all) could be repaired automatically either with an external tool or in camera?

Personally I doubt rolling shutter could be corrected that way. Capture is at a different moment, so any correction via AI would really be a false representation of the scene.

Given it is done for Video would it not be plausible?

False/not false - isn't that a little bit of a moving definition?

How would you re-construct missing dragonfly wing parts for instance? In a stills shot you want all the detail but you n video you can get away with parts that are less than accurate. It is also probably easier in video as there are multiple frames to get data from.

I think before deciding if something is impossible we could have a try at making the problem less so.

Let's say I take an image of a vehicle and it has crooked light posts in the background then I can correct it. So it must be possible.

As for missing parts well AI tools do some pretty darn good things with that also. We can see that even with Google Pixel phones.

Less than accurate? Isn't that the majority of our images? If you happen to have to photograph geometric like objects frequently they often need a bit of nudging back into shape.

I know we don't have the ability to do it and it's not something that has ever been asked of us but surely those Nvidia, Google like boffins could give it a whirl?

Some snazzy software to improve rolling shutter so that we don't need extremely expensive global shutters or the like?

Not suggesting it is impossible, just very difficult compared to video. Obviously that depends on the image. The AI model would need a lot of training for each and every subject and getting the image sets required is going to be a legal minefield that is yet to play out, It will almost certainly be possible one day, but by then will we actually have to deal with rolling shutter anyway? I personally don’t think that in 5 years it will be something we will be worrying about.
