METHOD FOR SMOOTHING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN SCENES OF A STEREO FILM AND CONTROLLING OR REGULATING A PLURALITY OF 3D CAMERAS
First Claim
1. A method for producing a motion video recording, comprising:
- obtaining a first image captured with a first camera rig having at least two cameras;
obtaining a second image captured with a second camera rig;
calculating with a processor, a first displacement of at least one first image point contained in a first sub-frame obtained from a first camera of the first camera rig relative to at least one second image point contained in a second sub-frame obtained from a second camera of the first camera rig and corresponding to the at least one first image point;
storing the at least one displacement in a disparity table; and
processing the at least one second image using the disparity table.

Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a method for producing a stereo film is provided, wherein a first image that is supplied (10) by a first camera rig having at least two cameras is followed (50) by a second image from a second camera rig, wherein furthermore a disparity table for definition of the displacement of a defined image point in a first sub-frame supplied by a first camera of the first camera rig relative to an image point similar thereto in a second sub-frame supplied by a second camera of the first camera rig is determined (20, 30) in order to obtain information about the depth of the first image composed of the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame, wherein the depth information of the disparity table of the first image of the first camera rig is used (60) for processing of the second image of the second camera rig. The invention also relates to controlling (means) or regulating means for a plurality of 3D cameras configured to carry out said method.
