project #3: MatchMove

Assigned: 2021/5/5
Due: 2021/5/26 11:59pm


Project description

Matchmove is a technique of estimating camera parameters from an input video sequence so that computer generated imagery (CGI) could be seamlessly inserted into the sequence. In this project, you will use tools to create visual effects using matchmove. You can either use camera calibration techniques or structure from motion methods. Essentially, for this project, you have to do the following things:
  • Shoot a video sequence. (Of course, you should plan ahead on how camera moves and what to insert afterwards.)
  • Apply a calibration or structure-from-motion tool to estimate camera parameters
  • Import these camera parameters into some 3D packages to add CGI into your scene
  • Optionally, add sound effects to your video and edit it.

Taking video

We will provide a camera for the students with no access to video camera. Please sign up here to borrow the camera.

MatchMove and rendering

We recommend to use blender for the task. Please check out TA's slides at NTUCOOL.

Submission

Please check out the specification and submit your project through NTUCOOL.
