Development of a tool for the integration of virtual and real scenes for television and movie-productions

The integration of virtual objects into an image sequence of a moving camera is of high interest for special effects in tv- and movie-productions. A virtual camera generates a synthetic image of a virtual object which is mixed into the real camera image. The goal is the creation of a new scene with the illusion that the virtual object was already in the scene taken by the real camera. To make this illusion perfect, the parameters of the real camera are estimated and those of the virtual camera are adjusted accordingly.
