Image sequence enhancement and motion picture project management system
First Claim
1. A system configured to modify a set of time ordered digital images comprising a computer having memory and a program stored in said memory that is configured to:
- associate a first mask with a motion object in a first image at a first mask location;
copy said first mask to create a second mask associated with a second image;
move said second mask to a second mask location associated with said motion object in said second image; and
,reshape said second mask to fit said motion object in said second image based on underlying image data in said second image.

Abstract
The system enables conversion of black and white images to color images and/or two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images based on adding color and/or depth to images using masks for regions in the images, as well as reshaping of masks to cover objects that have moved and changed shape as the objects move in a sequence of images. Also, includes motion picture project management system for reviewers, coordinators and artists. Artists utilize image analysis and image enhancement and computer graphics processing for example to convert two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images or otherwise create or alter motion pictures. Enables the efficient management of projects related to motion pictures to enable enterprises to manage assets, control costs, predict budgets and profit margins, reduce archival storage and otherwise provide displays tailored to specific roles to increase worker efficiency.
