Automatic camera control using unobtrusive vision and audio tracking

摘要: While video can be useful for remotely attending and archiving meetings, the itself is often dull difficult to watch. One key reason this that, except in very high-end systems, little attention has been paid production quality of being captured. The stream from a meeting lacks detail camera shots rarely change unless person tasked with operating camera. This stands stark contrast live television, where professional director creates engaging by juggling multiple cameras provide variety interesting views. In paper, we applied lessons television problem using automated control selection improve video. an extensible robust approach, our system uses off-the-shelf microphones unobtrusively track location activity participants, three cameras, cut between these create views, real-time. Evaluation users independent coders suggests promising initial results directions future work.
