Abstract

See full text

In a media production system, two-dimensional images captured from physical objects are analyzed to create three-dimensional representations of the physical objects within a virtual stage. The physical objects are manipulated as abstract representations in the unified virtual stage. Representations of physical and synthetic objects are choreographed in the virtual stage within an integrated system which can also generate a media product in the form of a two-dimensional image stream of the physical and synthetic objects with optional synchronized audio tracks. To facilitate choreography, a composite display of the three-dimensional virtual stage and a two-dimensional preview are provided. Also provided are a display showing temporal representations of elements within the scene and an object catalog of object oriented representations of elements within the scene.
