Abstract

A camerawork generating method includes: generating, from a multi-view video of a same scene captured from different viewpoints, a three-dimensional model for the scene; determining a target scene which is included in the scene and is a target for which a free-viewpoint video of the three-dimensional model as viewed from a virtual camera is to be generated; and generating a camerawork representing a temporal change in a position and an orientation of the virtual camera in the free-viewpoint video.

Claims (33)

1. A camerawork generating method, comprising:

generating, from a multi-view video of a same scene captured from different viewpoints, a three-dimensional model for the scene;

determining a target scene that is a target for which a free-viewpoint video of the three-dimensional model as viewed from a virtual camera is to be generated, the target scene being included in the scene;

generating a camerawork representing a temporal change in a position and an orientation of the virtual camera in the free-viewpoint video;

receiving a user input to acquire an evaluation of the camerawork; and

generating another camerawork based on the evaluation.

2. The camerawork generating method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the determining of the target scene, the target scene is determined using one of the multi-view video and the three-dimensional model.

3. The camerawork generating method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the determining of the target scene, the target scene is determined using sound of the scene.

4. The camerawork generating method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the generating of the camerawork, the position and the orientation of the virtual camera are determined such that an object of a predetermined type associated with the target scene is included in the free-viewpoint video.

5. The camerawork generating method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the generating of the camerawork, the position and the orientation of the virtual camera are determined based on a quality of a plurality of portions included in the three-dimensional model.

6. The camerawork generating method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying the camerawork.

7. The camerawork generating method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the free-viewpoint video from one of the three-dimensional model and the multi-view video, using the camerawork.

8. The camerawork generating method according to claim 7 , wherein

in the generating of the free-viewpoint video, a shake is added to the free-viewpoint video.

9. A video processing device, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory memory having stored thereon executable instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to perform:

generating, from a multi-view video of a same scene captured from different viewpoints, a three-dimensional model for the scene;

determining a target scene that is a target for which a free-viewpoint video of the three-dimensional model as viewed from a virtual camera is to be generated, the target scene being included in the scene; and

generating a camerawork representing a temporal change in a position and an orientation of the virtual camera in the free-viewpoint video;

receiving a user input to acquire an evaluation of the camerawork; and

generating another camerawork based on the evaluation.

10. A camerawork generating method, comprising:

generating, from a multi-view video of a same scene captured from different viewpoints, a three-dimensional model for the scene;

determining a target scene that is a target for which a free-viewpoint video of the three-dimensional model as viewed from a virtual camera is to be generated, the target scene being included in the scene; and

generating a camerawork representing a temporal change in a position and an orientation of the virtual camera in the free-viewpoint video,

wherein in the generating of the free-viewpoint video, a shake is added to the free-viewpoint video.
