  • Publication number: 20200005434
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a video camera that can be configured to highly compress video data in a visually lossless manner. The camera can be configured to transform blue and red image data in a manner that enhances the compressibility of the data. The data can then be compressed and stored in this form. This allows a user to reconstruct the red and blue data to obtain the original raw data for a modified version of the original raw data that is visually lossless when demosaiced. Additionally, the data can be processed in a manner in which the green image elements are demosaiced first and then the red and blue elements are reconstructed based on values of the demosaiced green image elements.

  • Publication number: 20050168485
    Abstract: A method for producing composite images of real images and computer-generated 3D images uses camera-and-lens sensor data. The real images can be live, or pre-recorded, and may originate on film or video. The computer-generated 3D images are generated live, simultaneously with the film or video and can be animated or still based upon pre-prepared 3D data. A live image, which may be preview-quality is generated on the video or film production set, and the information gathered from the sensors is stored to allow a high-quality composite to be generated in post-production. Due to the use of sensor data, an accurate simulation of depth-of-field and focus can be generated.
