Abstract:
1. A method to be executed at least in part in a computing device for generating an enhanced simulated video from a camera feed, the method comprising: setting up a plurality of cameras in different directions at a location for a predetermined period of time to capture stored images of vehicles at a plurality of angles that are indexed; receiving an original video input from a single-direction camera; generating a stream of vehicle video patches; matching vehicles in the vehicle video patches to corresponding the stored images of vehicles employing a moving window with normalized cross-correlation, wherein the stored images of the vehicles are based on at least one from a set of: a make, a model, and a color of each vehicle; retrieving images of a different angle corresponding to the stored images of the vehicles; fusing the retrieved images into a simulated video displaying the vehicles moving in another direction; generating the simulated video at a different frame rate than a frame rate of the original video input to reduce a blurriness and a dullness of the original video input; and rendering the simulated video.
