We propose the application of temporally and spatially coded projection and illumination in modern television studios. In our vision, this supports ad-hoc re-illumination, automatic keying, unconstrained presentation of moderation information, camera-tracking, and scene acquisition. In this paper we show how a new adaptive imperceptible pattern projection that considers parameters of human visual perception, linked with real-time difference keying enables an in-shot optical tracking using a novel dynamic multi-resolution marker technique
Virtual studio technology plays an important role for modern television productions. Blue-screen matting is a common technique for integrating real actors or moderators into computer generated sceneries. Augmented reality offers the possibility to mix real and virtual in a more general context. This article proposes a new technological approach for combining real studio content with computergenerated information. Digital light projection allows a controlled spatial, temporal, chrominance and luminance modulation of illumination – opening new possibilities for TV studios.
