Example-driven virtual cinematography by learning camera behaviors

Learning outdoor mobile robot behaviors by example

We present an implementation and analysis of a real-time, on-line, supervised learning system for non-parametrically learning behaviors from a human trainer on a mobile robot in outdoor environments. This approach enables a human operator to train and tune robot behaviors simply by driving the robot with a remote control. Hand-designed behaviors for outdoor environments often require many param...

Director Oriented Virtual Cinematography

Traditionally film making costs a huge amount of money and a great deal of time and labor. Converting traditional techniques of film making into virtual techniques could save money, time and labor. In this research, we have established a director friendly virtual camera work, which gives a film director the freedom to look through the shots before shooting. This way, a director is able to make ...

Declarative Camera Control for Automatic Cinematography

Animations generated by interactive 3D computer graphics applications are typically portrayed either from a particular character's point of view or from a small set of strategically-placed viewpoints. By ignoring camera placement, such applications fail to realize important storytelling capabilities that have been explored by cinematographers for many years. In this paper, we describe several o...
