What is the name of the 3D picture technique?

I'm not talking about Stereograms either.

I'm watching Class Of 92 and virtually every still picture they show has got this technique where the people have been masked and the camera moves slowly producing a 3D effect.
What amazes me is that (eg) they could be standing in front of a tree on a 2D picture but this hardware/software somehow manages to show more of the tree (mind blown).

I've obviously seen this before but can only now be bothered to ask how it's done/what it's called.

No, they do it with old 2D photos.

I was watching a WW1 programme last week and they were doing it on there. Eg soldiers in front of a tank but the camera wss panning around making it look 3D.

here you go, it's called 3d camera mapping, taking a 2d image and building a 3d model to put it on. It does have another name but I can't remember it

Nice example:

That is exactly it.
Look at the bloke at 26 seconds in front of the car and how the building changes behind him.

Thanks

So do you use only the picture or use a false background?
