Free-viewpoint video for immersive content production

该项目将通过使用新的算法分析和处理传统的视频源，确定创造新形式的视听、身临其境或互动内容的机会。将在一系列广播式视频上实施和测试合适的处理方法。研究将以自由视点视频和一般动态场景重建的最新进展为基础，开发计算机视觉方法，从真人内容创建身临其境的360 VR体验，使观众能够在场景中移动。将开发新的方法来从360视频中重建动态场景。随着沉浸式内容的出现，这项技术在媒体行业具有广泛应用的潜力。

This project will identify opportunities for creating new forms of visual/audio-visual immersive or interactive content through analysis and processing of conventional video feeds using novel algorithms. Suitable processing methods will be implemented and tested on a range of broadcast-style video. Research will build on recent advances in free-viewpoint video and general dynamic scene reconstruction to develop computer vision methods for creation of immersive 360 VR experiences from live-action content which allow the viewer to move through the scene. Novel methods will be developed for dynamic scene reconstruction from 360 video. This technology has potential for widespread application in the media industries with the advent of immersive content.
