This looks very interesting.

Or avoid the fence problem anyway, to begin with. Example a sports or wildlife shot with a fence between the photographer and subject. If there is enough distance between all three, use a long telephoto lens with shallow and selective DoF on just the subject and you can basically shoot right through the chain link or many other types of fencing.

I too wonder how it works on random or irregular obstructions like tree or shrub branches and leaves.

Yes, interesting if it works on (from) prints scanned.

What I would love if it could take out power and phone wires. That could save a lot of Ps retouching!

I've read some articles about that. Sounds good.

Interesting - but there's a problem, as exemplified in the second example. The camera obviously was focused on the chain link fence; this did not change when the fence was removed, so the entire (remaining) picture is out of focus!!!
