Abstract

A process is described comprising the preparation of subject objects with special colors that are invisible to the human eye, use of paired cameras to capture the subject object(s), use of pattern recognition software to merge the images. The merged image when accompanied by with behaviors will allow the creation of an OOP object that will facilitate automatic creation of animation-like special effects and CGI-like special effects.

Claims

1. The filming process comprising:

the coloring of subject objects with a plurality of different colors;

capturing the subject object with at least one set of paired cameras;

tracking each subject object;

transferring the capture images to a subsystem;

resolving the two sets of images by use of pattern recognition software;

giving each resolved image behavior so that the resulting image becomes an OOP object;

storing the OOP object in a database for later retrieval; and

use of OOP-based programming to manipulate the OOP object.

2. The process of claim one wherein the coloring of the subject objects further comprises use of at least one of the colors being a color that is not visible to the human eye.

3. The process of claim one wherein the paired cameras further comprises one camera of the paired cameras being capable of capturing colors invisible to the human eye and the other camera being capable of capturing only colors visible to the human eye.

4. The process of claim one wherein the subject objects include any condensed matter capable of being colored.

5. The process of claim one wherein tracking further comprises tracking each subject object based on the color and the predefined spatial relationship between the subject objects.

6. The product OOP object of claim one further comprising the digital manipulation effecting links to the group consisting of the Internet, intranets, local area networks and WI-Fl networks.

7. The product OOP object of claim one further comprising the digital manipulation effecting a further morphing of the OOP object.

9. The system of claim seven further comprising the group of pigments, dyes and light that are visible to the human eye and pigments and dyes that are not visible to the human eye.

10. The system of claim seven wherein one camera of each pair of cameras is capable of capturing colors invisible to the human eye and the other camera of each pair is capable of only capturing the group of colors visible to the human eye.

11. The system of claim seven wherein the subsystem further comprises use of pattern recognition to process images of the subject object into OOP objects.

8. The system comprising:

the group consisting of pigments, dyes and light;

paired cameras that detect two different sets of colors and captures these colors on two different sets of film capable of recording visual images; and

a subsystem to receive the images, process the images into OOP objects, store the images, facilitate retrieval of the processed images for further processing and retrieval for further use.

12. The system of claim eleven wherein the retrieval of the processed images for further processing further comprises use of OOP-based software to further process the OOP object.
