Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this theme, I considered employing the camerawork features to express a scene situation as attractive and intelligible video sequences combined from multiple handheld video cameras by spectators in the scene under space sharing situations. Here, I designed camerawork features as a setting of observing angles, position and size of a shooting object on the video, and their time series variations with considering to show its movement in the scene such as sports situation. I adopt key frames and interpolations of the camerawork parameters for final video sequence production. I developed a series of video processing method from original video sequences by handheld cameras to the final camerawork video sequence through the panoramic image synthesis by using configurations of camerawork features for each key frame. And, I also showed an effectiveness of the proposed method using in an actual sports scene.
