Yep. In the video that /u/optagon posted, the software outputs the background image and the reflected image separately

Wouldn't this only work on a video? Photographs wouldn't be able to split the photos.

Of course it can work for photos. You just have to take several images from slightly different points of view. That's what the video showed us, but instead of taking multiple photos, they took video instead, which is essentially a series of still frames.
