Title: Processing of digital motion images
Inventor: SMITH JOHN-PAUL
IPC: H04N13/00
Filed: 2014-04-04
Abstract: Processing images of a first image set for a first eye view (e.g. hero view) and at least one image for a second eye view comprises identifying an object in a first image from the first eye view at time t. A planar tracker generates a homography relating to apparent object movement between the first image from the first eye view at time t to a first image from the second eye view at similar time t. The homography defines the relationship between two views taken at a similar time from two different locations so planar tracking techniques can be used to determine relationships between a sequence of images from a single camera, as well as between related images taken at similar times from two cameras, e.g. one being a witness camera. An object may be tracked from the first image from the first eye view at time t to the second image from the second eye view at time t+n by two routes, namely two combinations of homographies [(i)&(iii) and (ii)&(iv) in fig. 1], the results of the two combinations being compared and used to determine any necessary adjustment to the homographies.
