Method for smoothing transitions between scenes of a stereo film and controlling or regulating a plurality of 3D cameras
First Claim
1. A method for recording video, comprising:
- obtaining a first pair of images from a first pair of cameras;
obtaining a second pair of images from a second pair of cameras;
calculating a first displacement of at least one first image point contained in a first image of the first pair of images relative to at least one second image point contained in a second image of the first pair of images corresponding to the at least one first image point;
storing the first displacement in a disparity table; and
processing at least one image of the second pair of images using the disparity table.

Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a method for producing a stereo film is provided, wherein a first image that is supplied (10) by a first camera rig having at least two cameras is followed (50) by a second image from a second camera rig, wherein furthermore a disparity table for definition of the displacement of a defined image point in a first sub-frame supplied by a first camera of the first camera rig relative to an image point similar thereto in a second sub-frame supplied by a second camera of the first camera rig is determined (20, 30) in order to obtain information about the depth of the first image composed of the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame, wherein the depth information of the disparity table of the first image of the first camera rig is used (60) for processing of the second image of the second camera rig. The invention also relates to controlling (means) or regulating means for a plurality of 3D cameras configured to carry out said method.

19. A system configured to record video, the system comprising:
an image processor configured to; receive a first pair of images from a first pair of cameras comprising at least a first image of the first pair of images and a second image of the first pair of images; receive a second pair of images from a second pair of cameras comprising at least a first image of the second pair of images and a second image of the second pair of images; calculate at least one first displacement between at least one first image point contained in the first image of the first pair of images and at least one corresponding second image point contained in the second image of the first pair of images; store the at least one first displacement in a disparity table; and process at least one of the first image of the second pair of images and the second image of the second pair of images using the disparity table. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
