Video to Toon (Cool Video)

Have you seen this cool video from MSR?

Summary: Michael Cohen and his colleagues from the Microsoft Research Team have invented a way to turn digital video into an animated cartoon. They've also developed techniques to combine animation with a still picture. Pixels in a video can be thought of as lying in six dimensional space - two image axes, time, and three color components. Pixels close to each other in this "space" form denser regions. The program clusters the pixels into a 3D shape, which can then be 'sliced' as though you were taking a slice of time and space.
