Computational Cinematography Lecture
Our dream to make machines sense and perceive (notably see) comes true: nowadays Computer Vision enables diverse applications:
-Autonomous Systems (cars, drones, vessels) Perception,
-Robotics Perception and Control,
-Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction,
-Anthropocentric (human-centered) Computing,
-Smart Cities/Buildings and Assisted living.
Computer Vision, coupled with AI (notably Machine Learning and Deep Neural Network) advances hit the news almost every day.
This lecture overviews Computational Cinematography that has many applications in filming, notably in drone cinematography. It covers the following topics in detail: Framing Shot Types: eXtreme Close Up shot (XCU), Medium Shot (MS), Long Shot (LS), eXtreme Long Shot (XLS), Over The Shoulder (OTS) and their detection. Shot type constraints (notably on focal length due to target tracking and shot feasility are also presented.
