Automated cinematic reasoning about camera behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automated control of a virtual camera is useful for both linear animation and interactive virtual environments. It has been partially addressed in the past by numeric constraint optimization and by idiom-based approaches. We have constructed a knowledge-based system that allows users to experiment with various cinematic genres and view the results in the form of animated 3D movies. We have followed a knowledge acquisition process converting domain expert principles into declarative rules, and our system uses non-monotonic reasoning in order to support absolute rules, default rules, and arbitrary user choices. We evaluated the tool by generating various movies and showing some of the results to a group of expert viewers. q 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملDarshak - An Intelligent Cinematic Camera Planning System
A virtual camera is a powerful communicative tool in virtual environments. It is a window through which a viewer perceives the virtual world. For virtual environments with an underlying narrative component, there is a need for automated camera planning systems that account for the situational parameters of the interaction and not just the graphical arrangement of the virtual world. I propose a ...
متن کاملEduCam: Cinematic Vocabulary for Educational Videos
Cinematography relies on a rich vocabulary of shots and framing parameters to communicate narrative event structures. This cinematic vocabulary stems from the physical capabilities of camera movement and uses aesthetic aspects to engage the audience and influence audience comprehension. At present, automatic physical camera control is limited in cinematic vocabulary. Virtual cameras, on the oth...
متن کاملToward a Narrative Comprehension Model of Cinematic Generation for 3D Virtual Environments
Most systems for generating cinematic shot sequences for virtual environments focus on the low-level problems of camera placement. While this approach will create a sequence of camera shots which film individual events in a virtual environment, it does not account for the high-level effects shot sequences have on viewer inferences. There are systems which are based on well known cinematography ...
متن کاملParallax photography: creating 3D cinematic effects from stills
We present an approach to convert a small portion of a light field with extracted depth information into a cinematic effect with simulated, smooth camera motion that exhibits a sense of 3D parallax. We develop a taxonomy of the cinematic conventions of these effects, distilled from observations of documentary film footage and organized by the number of subjects of interest in the scene. We pres...
