  • Patent number: 7894669
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that can find an image of a foreground object in a still image or video image. Finding the image of the foreground object can be used to reduce errors and reduce the time needed when creating morphs of an image. One implementation uses the detection of the image of the foreground object to create virtual camera movement, which is the illusion that a camera is moving around a scene that is frozen in time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6744403
    Abstract: A system uses GPS receivers and other sensors to acquire data about one or more objects at an event. The data acquired by the GPS receivers and the sensors is used to determine various statistics about the objects and/or enhance a video presentation of the objects. In one embodiment, the acquired data is used to determine three dimensional positions of the objects, determine the positions of images of the objects in a video and enhance the video accordingly. One exemplar use of the present invention is with a system for tracking automobiles at a race. The system determines statistics about the automobiles and enhances a video presentation of the race.
