Method of obtaining a succession of images in the form of a circling effect
First Claim
1. Method for obtaining a succession of images in the form of a sequence representing a circling effect substantially around an object of interest, in which:
- a) a plurality of video cameras are provided arranged substantially in line to capture in their field, at different respective shot angles, a substantially fixed scene in which an object of interest is likely to move, b) different images acquired by the video cameras and representing the object of interest are gathered, and c) a sequence is constructed by concatenation of said images with an order of said images in the sequence corresponding to an order of positions of the video cameras along said line, wherein;
said video cameras are fixed in position and in adjustment, and acquire the shots of the object of interest, in wide field including predetermined markers on the scene, at step b), the images are readjusted in respective positions relative to one another, with the aid of said predetermined markers on the scene.

Abstract
The subject of the invention is a succession of images in the form of a sequence representing a circling effect substantially around an object of interest (OI). A plurality of l video cameras (CAM1-CAM16) fixed in position and in adjustment are provided to capture, in wide field but at different respective shot angles, a fixed scene, in which the object of interest moves. Different images acquired by the video cameras are gatherered. After the acquired images are readjusted amongst themselves thanks to predetermined markers in the image, a sequence is constructed by concatenation of the acquired images with an order of images in the sequence corresponding to an order of positions of the video cameras along a line.
