Towards Virtual Videograpy
Videographers have developed an art of conveying events
in video. Through choices made in cinematography, edit-
ing, and post-processing, effective video presentations can
be created from events recorded with little or no intrusion.
In this paper, we explore systems that bring videography
to situations where cost or time issues preclude application
of the art. Our goal is to develop virtual videography, that
is, systems that can help automate the process of creat-
ing an effective video presentation from given footage. In
this paper, we discuss how virtual videography systems can
be constructed by combining image-based rendering to syn-
thetically generate shots with image understanding to help
choose what should be shown to the viewer. To this, visual
effects can be added to enhance the presentation, lessening
the degradation caused by the medium.
