View Synthesis for 3D Video Scene Composition

Abstract

Scene composition is a method widely used in movie and TV production. Merging two sets of 3D videos into one is a very challenging task. There are several main issues on video composition. Our focus is compositing two sets of videos with different camera motion parameters. The key techniques are the camera motion estimation and view synthesis technique used to produce the synthesized motion-compensated background video. We propose a refined backward warping technique for view synthesis and adopt the ICP algorithm to calculate the camera motion parameters.
