Camera Control in Computer Graphics

The Painting Camera: Abstract Rendering with Camera-Control-Images

In this paper, we present a simple and intuitive rendering technique to create abstract paintings. This technique allows the users to render a given animated scene with multiple cameras, using a method inspired by concepts used by cubist and futurist abstract painters. In our method, the number of cameras is unlimited and the camera parameters are continuous functions. We define the camera para...

Computer Graphics and Constraint Solving: An Application to Virtual Camera Control

A New Approach to Through-the-Lens Camera Control

the exact viewing of a 3D scene in mind. The situation is even worse for computer animation, in which a continuous The through-the-lens camera control technique originally proposed by M. Gleicher and A. Witkin [Comput. Graphics camera motion is often required to generate a smooth 26(2), 1992, 331–340], provides a powerful user interface for scene change. With a poor camera model, the computer t...

Intelligent Camera Control for Graphical Environments

Too often in the field of computer graphics, practitioners have been more concerned with the question of how to move a camera rather than why to move it. This thesis addresses the core question of why the camera is being placed and moved and uses answers to that question to provide a more convenient, more intelligent method for controlling virtual cameras in computer graphics. After discussing ...

Directional Stroke Width Transform to Separate Text and Graphics in City Maps

One of the complex documents in the real world is city maps. In these kinds of maps, text labels overlap by graphics with having a variety of fonts and styles in different orientations. Usually, text and graphic colour is not predefined due to various map publishers. In most city maps, text and graphic lines form a single connected component. Moreover, the common regions of text and graphic lin...

Smart Camera Networks in Virtual Reality Simulated smart cameras track the movement of simulated pedestrians in a simulated train station , allowing development of improved control strategies for smart camera networks

| This paper presents our research towards smart camera networks capable of carrying out advanced surveillance tasks with little or no human supervision. A unique centerpiece of our work is the combination of computer graphics, artificial life, and computer vision simulation technologies to develop such networks and experiment with them. Specifically, we demonstrate a smart camera network compr...
