Pornography has given so much to the world of computer science

They have been the motivating factor behind things like beter video compression schemes, higher network speeds, and improved web markup language standards. Perhaps more importantly, the porn industry was really the first industry to show that there was money to be made on the internet. Face it, Amazon and e*bay wouldn't exist if it weren't for visionaries like Excalibur Films and Spanky's Smut Shack. With all that pornography has done for computer science, don't you think it's time we gave something back? Well I do, and that's why I've decided to start working on naked mapping.

So, what is naked mapping? Well, it's a bit of an offshoot of texture mappping, where given a texture and a surface, one essentially ``paints'' the texture onto that surface. However, in naked mapping, one would take an image of a person and the mapping algorithm would first estimate that person's body outline and then maps the appropriate colors and shadings inside that outline so we are left with the image of a naked person where we once had someone fully clothed.

Just think what a boon this would be to people like the editors at Celebrity Skin magazine! No longer would they need to hang around the Seychelles looking for a topless vacationing celebrity, or spending hours renting bad videos trying to grab still images of actresses in the buff. Now all they need to do is grab a copy of People or Entertainment Weekly, scan in any old picture, naked map it, and voila - naked celebrities! Other pornographic magazines will no longer have to pay nubile young models to take off their clothes in front of a camera. Now they'll be able to just snap shots of them at any old time and map them into full naked glory. This would even enable them to do photo shoots in a busy public area without any fear of getting arrested.

Who knows? If the mapping algorithms can be made efficient enough to run it real time, this technique could be used in televisions to allow us to watch Britney Spears dancing, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer high kicking in their alltogether (or for the sickos in the crowd, you could watch Martha Stewart pruning roses in the nude...).

Want more than just a tantalizing glimpse of Keri Russell's [Felicity] nipples through a wet cotton t-shirt? Well, naked mapping can make it happen!
