I'm wondering when we'll get to easy Blade Runner tech, where taking a photo will let you browse it in a 3d sense, extrapolating to some level of certainty what certain aspects "behind" objects or out of view would like look, based off the analysis of the visible elements in the photo.

That's not the same thing. This paper is talking about extrapolating objects that become occluded in the video stream until they become visible again, to provide a continuous sense of tracking.
