Would this still be covered under the original patent until 2029 [1]?

That patent was filed in 2009, and appears to be a copy of a 2007 paper http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.570... with no novel contributions, and no overlap in authorship.

This one has one of the original authors and was filed in 2008: https://www.google.com/patents/US8280191 not sure about differences in claims. IANAPA

     2008: Original Assignee	Abode Systems Incorporated

     2009: Original Assignee	Eastman Kodak Company

Perhaps the Kodak patent covers a hardware-implementation for their cameras?

_Eastman_ Kodak manufactures and distributes cinema film. The camera division is the _other_ Kodak.

The algorithm is not based on this patent. I made a reference on the github page to the original paper the project is based on.

Not in New Zealand, France or a host of other countries without software patents.

Where is the creator located?
