Whenever we hear the term 鈥渧isual effects,鈥 it usually doesn鈥檛 take long for a green screen to come to mind. Blue/green screen techniques, also known as Chromakey, have been an integral part of the visual effects process within the post-production industry for many years, but new alternatives are now in development that will improve post-production efficacy, save labour costs and foster creative breakthroughs.
In this talk, Zhu will discuss how she and another 杏吧原创 researcher have developed what they believe to be the first five-view camera system prototype, which perceives real-life scenes from both horizontal and vertical directions and fills in blind spots to generate more accurate depth sequences.
She will explain the methodology behind their work, showcase sample shots and discuss how the technology can be applied in visual effects composition, 2D to 3D conversion, augmented reality, virtual reality, machine vision and more.

Zhu鈥檚 research aims to help streamline the film industry鈥檚 post-production pipeline by simplifying element extraction procedures that suffer from high-cost setup or tedious workflow. By developing a system that enables live-action elements to be composited with spatial depth, she looks to produce a more realistic and cost-effective visual effects result.
