Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a world model module that creates a world model associated with a real event, the world model comprising static and dynamic nodes, each static node associated with a static object in the real event and each dynamic node associated with a dynamic object in the real event;
a rendering module that generates a virtual image at a virtual perspective, wherein rendering module generates the virtual image by using the world model and instrumentation data; and
a compositing module that blends the virtual image and a real image of the real event into a resultant image, wherein, within the resultant image, a proportion between the virtual image and the real image varies in accordance with the instrumentation data to transition between the virtual image and the real image.

Abstract
The invention illustrates a system and method of blending a virtual scene and a real scene comprising: capturing a real image of a real event from a real camera; receiving an instrumentation data based on the real event; and rendering a virtual image wherein the virtual image is based on the instrumentation data and the real image.

8. A method comprising:
-
obtaining a world model associated with a real event, the world model comprising static and dynamic nodes, each static node associated with a static object in the real event and each dynamic node associated with a dynamic object in the real event; rendering a virtual image at a virtual perspective, wherein the virtual image is rendered by using the world model and instrumentation data from the real event; and blending the virtual image with a real image of the real event into a resultant image, wherein, within the resultant image, a proportion between the virtual image and the real image varies in accordance with the instrumentation data to transition between the virtual image and the real image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
