Image
Based Content Creation:
3d Compositing and Practical Applications
for Production
This presentation will cover Image Based Content Creation and
its use in Post Production today. The presentation will begin
with an overview of Image Analysis and its applications, and
continue by detailing real world production examples demonstrating
the applications in practice.
Part 1
3d Compositing and Camera Tracking are more widely used today
as Post Production Companies integrate Computer Graphics with
Live Action. Applications for this new technology vary from
Film and Video to Broadcast and Visualization. This part of
the presentation will cover the “nuts and bolts”
of this process as we examine the pipeline from Image Acquisition
to Final Render.
Part 2
Image Processing has widely been publicized for its improvement
and enrichment of Multimedia applications and the web. This
part of the presentation will include a practical example of
new technology focused on the enhancement of Production Applications
- in particular, Interactive Learning, Education, and Immersive
Imaging.
Software: Realviz Image Factory, Maya, Adobe, etc.
