| SSC Seminar: Image Based Content Creation |
3d Compositing and Practical Applications for Production
This presentation will cover Image Based Content Creation and its use in Post Production today. The presentation will begin with an overview of Image Analysis and its applications, and continue by detailing real world production examples demonstrating the applications in practice.
Part 1
3d Compositing and Camera Tracking are more widely used today as Post Production Companies integrate Computer Graphics with Live Action. Applications for this new technology vary from Film and Video to Broadcast and Visualization. This part of the presentation will cover the "nuts and bolts" of this process as we examine the pipeline from Image Acquisition to Final Render.
Part 2
Image Processing has widely been publicized for its improvement and enrichment of Multimedia applications and the web. This part of the presentation will include a practical example of new technology focused on the enhancement of Production Applications - in particular, Interactive Learning, Education, and Immersive Imaging.
Software: Realviz Image Factory, Maya, Adobe, etc.
