Abstract: A method and system of generating an image of a subject from the viewpoint of a virtual camera includes obtaining a plurality of source images of a subject and pose data for each source camera or cameras that captured the source images. Virtual camera pose data is also obtained indicating a pose of a virtual camera relative to the subject. Each source image is distorted based on a difference in pose of the corresponding source camera and the pose of the virtual camera. A weighting is determined for each distorted image based on a similarity between the pose of the corresponding source camera and the pose of the virtual camera. The distorted images are then blended together in accordance with the weightings to form an image of the subject from the viewpoint of the virtual camera.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for an acquisition process to acquire information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of a camera operated by a user and an image generation process to generate an image to be displayed on a display unit viewed by the user in a first frequency lower than a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the display unit using information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation acquired at a certain point of time by the acquisition process.

Abstract: A virtual reality apparatus includes a head mountable display (HMD) to display video content; an orientation detector to detect a current orientation of the HMD; and a display generator to generate video content for display by the HMD, the video content representing a portion of a virtual environment, the display generator selecting the portion for display by the HMD in dependence upon: a current orientation of the HMD; and a location within the virtual environment of a feature of interest.

Abstract: A video processing method includes detecting, as a reference pose, a pose of an individual at a reference time point in an input video sequence; at a second, different, time point in the input video sequence, detecting a second pose of the individual; generating from one or more source images of the individual, a transitional video sequence representing a transition of the individual from the second pose to the reference pose; and associating the transitional video sequence with the input video sequence to generate an output video sequence including at least the transitional video sequence to implement a non-linear replay branch from the second time point to the reference time point.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for receiving an image to be displayed on the head-mounted display unit generated in a first frequency by an image generation apparatus using information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of the head of a user who wears a head-mounted display unit, where the information is acquired at a certain point of time; correcting the image using updated information relating to at least one of the position and the rotation at a different point of time, where the receiving and correcting includes receiving updated information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation in a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the head-mounted display unit, and performing multiple times of correction of the image in the first frequency using a plurality of the updated information relating to at least one of the position and the rotation received in the second frequency higher than the first frequency.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating stereoscopic images for display with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) include: setting a VDS position for displaying a stereoscopic image of an object in a virtual scene, the VDS having a depth profile that approximates a depth profile of the object; generating the stereoscopic image for display at the VDS within the virtual scene; and controlling a configuration of the VDS based on the detected change in the viewpoint of the stereoscopic image by the viewer.

Abstract: An image processing method includes detecting, for image positions in an input image, the presence of a predetermined key colour; generating an image texture, the generating step comprising: setting a texture background of the image texture to a predetermined background colour; generating transparency values at image positions of the image texture, the transparency value at an image position being dependent upon a detected property of the predetermined key colour in the input image, the transparency values; and providing a texture foreground of the image texture; and applying the image texture to the input image at image positions at which the predetermined key colour is present.

Abstract: A method of generating stereoscopic images for display with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) position, includes setting a VDS position for a stereoscopic image for display such that the depth profile of one or more VDSs approximates the depth profile of one or more objects in a virtual scene to be displayed by that stereoscopic image, and generating the stereoscopic image for display having image parallax appropriate to the VDS position or positions set by the setting step.
