In the now classic scene from the movie “The Matrix” hero jumps and freezes in flight – the camera at this time orbits form, and the viewer can see the scene from different angles – as if watching a sculpture. Researchers are working to similar results could be obtained during sports broadcasts. Perhaps in the future, so the viewer will be able to stop fighting wrestlers at the time of roll or boxing match at the moment of impact and watch the moment stuck in time, as would see it instantly gliding around the scene camera.
Such capabilities are becoming closer thanks to research on free television Punt view (FTV – Free Viepoint Television). Such a new television could also be attractive for broadcast theatrical shows (such as. Dance) and instructional videos (eg. Demonstration surgeries.)
“TV free point of view will give the viewer the opportunity to interact. Although the viewer does not get through her influence on the course watching the event, it will be able to change the director and decide on moving the camera around the scene “- sums up in an interview with PAP prof. Marek Domanski of the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, Poznan University of Technology, who conducts research on FTV.
For now, researchers at the University of Technology are working on making sure that each member of the audience in real time during transmission may itself play in the TV operator and commands for the computer can move the virtual camera. Everyone will be so alone decide whether to watch the event from the left or the right, or you may want to tour the virtual camera scene and at what pace to do it. The viewer will be able to also do a close-up.
In the movie “The Matrix” effect stopped the fly actresses were obtained, making at the same time images of b. Multiple cameras placed around the stage. Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Technology are of the opinion that the effect of liquid bypass the camera around the scene (rotate 120 degrees) can be obtained only by recording event of a dozen cameras arranged in a circle.
software developed by scientists will be able on the basis of the obtained calculate the camera image, which is seen from any place between the devices. This allows the viewer will be able to obtain an image of a place where there is no camera, and the transitions between the points where the camera stand will be smooth. The software will calculate the image that should receive the user and sends it to the device viewer – to receive the transmission, it will need specialized equipment or fast – just install on your computer or smartphone appropriate application.
Poznan studies researchers tested for If the solution, when the viewing angle can change by up to 120 degrees (third turn). If we otaczałyby camera scene on each side, would have to be seen in the background bursting with action.
At the moment, scientists encounter in technology FTV many problems – including related to various image distortions resulting from failure to determine the location of individual objects. “But I think it’s a matter of 2-3 years, that our technology has been refined and could hit the market” – says prof. Domanski.
Studies on TV free access lead not only Poles, but also researchers from Japan and South Korea. “The quality of our software, but to pretend to be the best” – says the caller PAP.
