Obiettivo
Image processing techniques are bringing a whole range of innovative applications to the world of digital video. An early commercial application released by one of the project partners in 1995 is the electronic billboard. This image processing system is able to detect and track a real billboard or another target in the live broadcast flow of a sports event, and to insert a synthetic 'electronic billboard' to replace it in the video signal. This can be used to optimise the impact of sponsoring to specific audiences. The goal of the EPSIS project is to enhance this system by launching a new research activity focused on obstacle processing.
The anticipated project results will enable the insertion of a new billboard even when a player is partially masking the targeted 'real' billboard, with a minimum number of constraints.
Similar techniques will also be exploited in a different application, known as the virtual set. This application allows images of actors and props recorded in an appropriate studio to be superimposed on a synthetic background. Most virtual set solutions available today require instrumented cameras to track their location and orientation and the well-known chroma-key technique to insert actors and props in a synthetic background. The techniques developed in this project will partially or completely suppress the constraints of chroma key.
The results of the project will give the consortium a competitive edge on players from outside Europe, mainly from the US.
