Abstract

A system for real-sense acquisition, connected to an image obtaining device, includes a sensing means, an environment setting means, a real-sense effect metadata creation means and a start/end processing means. The sensing means creates sensing data by sensing environment around the image obtaining device. The environment setting means sets a reference value for extracting effective data from the sensing data created by the sensing means. The real-sense effect metadata creation means creates real-sense effect metadata by extracting effective data based on the reference value set by the environment setting means from the sensing data created by the sensing means. The start/end processing means controls an operation of the sensing means based on start and end times when the image obtaining device obtains an image.

Claims
