Christian Theobalt and his team from the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication will demonstrate the next stage of automated character adjustment in video footage in a paper at “SIGGRAPH Asia 2010,” taking place in December.
This system allows the proportions of a human character in any video footage to be adjusted simply and quickly.
This works through the use of a library of human shapes created from scans of real people. The software then transfers the proportions to people in the video and shifts them to new proportions within the parameters.
