METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR CENSORING CONTENT IN IMAGES
A method for censoring content on a three-dimensional image comprises a step of identifying in said three-dimensional image a three-dimensional object to be censored, and to replace said three-dimensional object to be censored by three-dimensional replacing contents in said three dimensional image.
1 . A method for censoring content on a three-dimensional image, said method comprising a the steps of:
identifying in said three-dimensional image a three-dimensional object to be censored; and
replacing said three-dimensional object to be censored by three-dimensional replacing contents in said three-dimensional image.
2 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said three-dimensional replacing content is a three-dimensional replacing object.
3 . The method according to claim 2 wherein said three-dimensional replacing object is selected from a predetermined set of three-dimensional objects.
4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein said selection is based upon correspondence between said three-dimensional replacing object and said three-dimensional object to be censored.
5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein said three- dimensional replacing object is a three-dimensional avatar.
6 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said three-dimensional image is generated from a plurality of two-dimensional images captured by a corresponding plurality of cameras, and wherein said step of identifying said three-dimensional object to be censored comprises identifying corresponding 2-dimensional objects on said plurality of two-dimensional images for enabling an identification of 3-dimensional voxels of said three-dimensional object to be censored.
7 . The method according to claim 6 wherein said three-dimensional voxels are replaced by replacement voxels having a different content, such as to thereby generate said replacement object from said replacement voxels.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein said steps are performed on successive three-dimensional images constituting a three- dimensional video sequence.
9 . (canceled)
10 . A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions to enable a processor to perform a method of censoring content on a three-dimensional image, said method comprising the steps of:
identifying in said three-dimensional image a three-dimensional object to be censored; and
replacing said three-dimensional object to be censored by three-dimensional replacing contents in said three-dimensional image.
11 . The computer program product according to claim 10 wherein said three-dimensional replacing content is a three-dimensional replacing object.
12 . The computer program product according to claim 11 wherein said three-dimensional replacing object is selected from a predetermined set of three-dimensional objects.
13 . The computer program product according to claim 12 , wherein said selection is based upon correspondence between said three-dimensional replacing object and said three-dimensional object to be censored.
14 . The computer program product according to claim 11 wherein said three-dimensional replacing object is a three-dimensional avatar.
15 . The computer program product according to claim 10 wherein said three-dimensional image is generated from a plurality of two-dimensional images captured by a corresponding plurality of cameras, and wherein said step of identifying said three-dimensional object to be censored comprises identifying corresponding 2-dimensional objects on said plurality of two-dimensional images for enabling an identification of 3-dimensional voxels of said three-dimensional object to be censored.
16 . The computer program product according to claim 15 wherein said three-dimensional voxels are replaced by replacement voxels having a different content, such as to thereby generate said replacement object from said replacement voxels.
17 . The computer program product according to claim 10 , wherein said steps are performed on successive three-dimensional images constituting a three-dimensional video sequence.
