Abstract
Live video broadcasting requires a multitude of professional expertise to enable multi-camera productions. Robotic systems allow the automation of common and repeated tracking shots. However, predefined camera shots do not allow quick adjustments when required due to unpredictable events. We introduce a modular automated robotic camera control and video switch system, based on fundamental cinematographic rules. The actors' positions are provided by a markerless tracking system. In addition, sound levels of actors' lavalier microphones are used to analyse the current scene. An expert system determines appropriate camera angles and decides when to switch from one camera to another. A test production was conducted to observe the developed prototype in a live broadcast scenario and served as a video-demonstration for an evaluation.

Modeling inter-camera space-time and appearance relationships for tracking across non-overlapping views
Tracking across cameras with non-overlapping views is a challenging problem. Firstly, the observations of an object are often widely separated in time and space when viewed from non-overlapping cameras. Secondly, the appearance of an object in one ...
Image-based pan-tilt camera control in a multi-camera surveillance environment
ICME '03: Proceedings of the 2003 International Conference on Multimedia and Expo - Volume 2In automated surveillance systems with multiple cameras, the system must be able to position the cameras accurately. Each camera must be able to pan-tilt such that an object detected in the scene is in a vantage position in the camera's image plane and ...
Semi-dense Visual Odometry for a Monocular Camera
ICCV '13: Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Computer VisionWe propose a fundamentally novel approach to real-time visual odometry for a monocular camera. It allows to benefit from the simplicity and accuracy of dense tracking - which does not depend on visual features - while running in real-time on a CPU. The ...
