Abstract

In film art, the usage of various fields of view in a movie reflects the shooting style of the director or artist. Analyzing which field of view was used by the shot can help us achieve the semi-automatic design and generation of the storyboard. Before achieving the generation of movie shots, the corresponding field of view recognition method and field of view dataset need to help the machine select a suitable field of view. However, although the traditional field of view recognition consumes many resources and time, no one establishes a relevant field of view dataset successfully. To solve this problem, we propose a method for automatically recognizing the field of view in a movie shot. In addition, we create a new field of view dataset by extracting shot images from available movies, including 10041 pictures. Experiments show that the proposed method can accurately achieve the automatic field of view recognition work.
