Abstract: A method of generating view-dependent compensated images is disclosed. A uniform image is projected on a reflective screen, resulting in a first captured image. The distribution of specular highlight is predicted according to the first captured image, thereby obtaining model parameters. Calibration images are estimated according to the model parameters and a viewing angle, and a compensated image is generated according to the calibration images at the viewing angle.

Abstract: A video playback system and method based on highlight information are disclosed. The video playback system includes a user interface, an extracting unit, a determining unit, an adjusting unit and a playback unit. The user interface is configured to receive a control command, including a highlight mode command. The extracting unit is configured to extract highlight information from an input video, according to the highlight mode command. The determining unit is configured to determine at least one highlight video clip. The adjusting unit is configured to provide an adjusting playback velocity. The playback unit is configured to play the input video at the adjusting playback velocity according to the highlight mode command.
