Abstract

More and more home videos are being produced with the increasing popularity of digital video camcorders. Yet the resulting home videos tend to be very long and boring to watch. The precious memories within those videos are ultimately lost. The problem is that the average home videographer does not have the time, or the editing skills to edit their home videos. It is a shame to let all those precious moments go to waste.There are editing software in the market that allow the user to edit their own home videos. For example, Apple's iMovie [1], Microsoft's MovieMaker [2], and the Hitchcock editing system [3]. But they still demand time, skill and effort from the user.With the above issue in mind, we developed the Automatic Video Editor, an application that analyzes a home video and edit it automatically into a condensed and interesting mini-movie.In our video, we will first show a clip of an unedited home video. Afterwards, we will show the output video created by our Automatic Video Editor.

Turning to the masters: motion capturing cartoons

In this paper, we present a technique we call "cartoon capture and retargeting" which we use to track the motion from traditionally animated cartoons and retarget it onto 3-D models, 2-D drawings, and photographs. By using animation as the source, we ...
