ROM

• Program: ANR CONTINT

• Project acronym: ROM

• Project title: Realtime Onset Matchmoving

• Duration: 2008 – 2011

• Coordinator: Duran Duboi SA

• Other partners: VORTEX (IRI Toulouse, France)

• Abstract: This industrial R&D project concerns the generation of special effects for movie or other film productions. In particular, the goal is to provide tools for successful onset matchmoving, that is the estimation of camera trajectories during acquisition, with immediate pre-visualization of special effects superimposed on acquired sequences. Besides this real-time aspect of matchmoving, the project also addresses the problem of preparing a shooting, by analyzing if matchmoving with natural features is possible and if not, by instrumenting the scene with artificial markers in appropriate positions.
