ABSTRACT
Research on 3D video processing has gained a tremendous amount of momentum due to advances in video communications, broadcasting and entertainment technology (e.g., animation blockbusters like Avatar and Up). There is an increasing need for reliable technologies capable of visualizing 3-D content from viewpoints decided by the user; the 2010 football World Cup in South Africa has made very evident the need to replay crucial football footage from new viewpoints to decide whether the ball has or has not crossed the goal line. Remote videoconferencing prototypes are introducing a sense of presence into large- and small-scale (PC-based) systems alike by manipulating single and multiple video sequences to improve eye contact and place participants in convincing virtual spaces. All this, and more, is pushing the introduction of 3D services and the development of high-quality 3D displays to be available in a future which is drawing nearer and nearer.

A Video-Based System for Hand-Driven Stop-Motion Animation
Stop-motion is a well-established animation technique but is often laborious and requires craft skills. A new video-based system can animate the vast majority of everyday objects in stop-motion style, more flexibly and intuitively. Animators can perform ...
Multi-clip video editing from a single viewpoint
CVMP '14: Proceedings of the 11th European Conference on Visual Media ProductionWe propose a framework for automatically generating multiple clips suitable for video editing by simulating pan-tilt-zoom camera movements within the frame of a single static camera. Assuming important actors and objects can be localized using computer ...
