Abstract :
The virtual camera method presented integrates computer graphics and real-time video processing techniques in a new type of virtual studio. At NHK we developed several image compositing systems based on this method. First we look at the virtual camera method, then some of the systems developed with it. Then we discuss future directions and possibilities not only for image compositing but also for the development of sophisticated systems for editing and producing television programs
