Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for differentiating between background and foreground in images or films of scenery recorded by an electronic camera. The invention relates in addition to a method for replacing the background in recorded images or films of scenery whilst maintaining the foreground.

Abstract: A method for transmitting at least one image content to at least one viewer. The image contents in the method may be represented by a plurality of individual images. The method may also have a display periodically showing the plurality of individual images one after the other, and a camera outputting a plurality of pictures of a scenery at least partially containing the display. The camera outputting at least one of the shown individual images for each picture and the individual images of at least one of the image contents being transmitted to at least one viewer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining deformations on an object, wherein the object is illuminated and moved while being illuminated. In the process, the object is observed by means of at least one camera and at least two camera images are generated at different times by said camera. In the camera images, polygonal chains are ascertained in each case for reflections at the object caused by form features. The form features are classified on the basis of the behavior of the polygonal chains over the at least two camera images and a two-dimensional representation is generated, the latter representing a spatial distribution of deformations. Moreover, the invention relates to a corresponding apparatus.

Abstract: A method of replacing graphical content in images of a scene recorded by a camera, wherein the graphical content to be replaced is an image of at least one feature in the scene whose color represents one or more primary colors. The graphical content to be replaced is replaced by replacing content in accordance with a gray scale mask in the image recorded by the camera.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for tracking at least one object in a moving image signal recorded by a camera. Firstly, in a calibration step, at least one feature of the object is thereby detected in the moving image recorded by the camera and the position of this feature for different states of the camera, for example different orientations, is stored in an assignment memory. In a tracking step, the position of the object can then be read out, by means of the camera state, from the assignment memory so that a more reliable tracking of the object becomes possible. According to the invention, a method is indicated in addition, in which the object tracked in this way is replaced by a virtual object in the moving image.
