METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMBINING VIDEO SEQUENCES WITH SPATIO-TEMPORAL ALIGNMENT ;Technical Field The present invention relates to visual displays and, more specifically, to time-dependent 00 visual displays.
Background 00 In video displays, e.g. in sports-related television programs, special visual effects 00 can be used to enhance a viewer's appreciation of the action. For example, in the case of a C team sport such as football, instant replay affords the viewer a second chance at 1o "catching" critical moments of the game. Such moments can be replayed in slow motion, r and superposed features such as hand-drawn circles, arrows and letters can be included for emphasis and annotation. These techniques can be used also with other types of sports such as racing competitions, for example.
With team sports, techniques of instant replay and the like are most appropriate, as scenes typically are busy and crowded. Similarly, e.g. in the 100-meter dash competition, the scene includes the contestants side-by-side, and slow-motion visualization at the finish line brings out the essence of the race. On the other hand, where starting times are staggered e.g. as necessitated for the sake of practicality and safety in the case of certain racing events such as downhill racing or ski jumping, the actual scene typically includes a single contestant.
Summary For enhanced visualization, by the sports fan as well as by the contestant and his coach, displays are desired in which the element of competition between contestants is manifested. This applies especially where contestants perform sole as in downhill skiing, for example, and can be applied also to group races in which qualification schemes are used to decide who will advance from quarter-final to half-final to final.
We have recognized that, given two or more video sequences, a composite video sequence can be generated which includes visual elements from each of the given sequences, suitably synchronized and represented in a chosen focal plane. For example, given two video sequences with each showing a different contestant individually racing the same down-hill course, the composite sequence can include elements from each of the given sequences to show the contestants as if racing simultaneously.
A composite video sequence can be made also by similarly combining one or more video sequences with one or more different sequences such as audio sequences, for example.

Fig. 6 is a frame from a composite video sequence which was made with a prototype implementation of the invention.
SDetailed Description Conceptually, the invention can be appreciated in analogy with 2-dimensional (2D) "morphing", i.e. the smooth transformation, deformation or mapping of one image, II, into another, 12, in computerized graphics. Such morphing leads to a video sequence 00 which shows the transformation of 11 into 12, of an image of an apple into an image 00 of an orange, or of one human face into another. The video sequence is 3-dimensional, C'i having two spatial and a temporal dimension. Parts of the sequence may be of special interest, such as intermediate images, e.g. the [R:\LIBQ]3035doc:MIC average of two faces, or composites, e.g. a face with the eyes from I1I and the smile from 12. Thus, morphing between images can be appreciated as a form of merging of features from the images.
The invention is concerned with a more complicated task, namely the merging of two video sequences. The morphing or mapping from one sequence to another leads to 4-dimensional data which cannot be displayed easily. However, any intermediate combination, or any composite sequence leads to a new video sequence.
Of particular interest is the generation of a new video sequence combining elements from two or more given sequences, with suitable spatio-temporal alignment or synchronization, and projection into a chosen focal plane. For example, in the case of a sports racing competition such as downhill skiing, video sequences obtained from two contestants having traversed a course separately can be timesynchronized by selecting the frames corresponding to the start of the race.
Alternatively, the sequences may be synchronized for coincident passage of the contestants at a critical point such as a slalom gate, for example.
The chosen focal plane may be the same as the focal plane of the one or the other of the given sequences, or it may be suitably constructed yet different from both.
Of interest also is synchronization based on a distinctive event, in track and field, a high-jump contestant lifting off from the ground or touching down again. In this respect it is of further interest to synchronize two sequences so that both lift-off and touch-down coincide, requiring time scaling. The resulting composite sequence affords a comparison of trajectories.
With the video sequences synchronized, they can be further aligned spatially, e.g. to generate a composite sequence giving the impression of the contestants traversing the course simultaneously. In a simple approach, spatial alignment can be performed on a frame-by-frame basis. Alternatively, by taking a plurality of frames from a camera into consideration, the view in an output image can be extended to include background elements from several sequential images.
Forming a composite image involves representing component scenes in a chosen focal plane, typically requiring a considerable amount of computerized processing, e.g. as illustrated by Fig. 1 for the special case of two video input sequences.
Fig. 1 shows two image sequences IS 1 and IS2 being fed to a module 11 for synchronization into synchronized sequences IS 1' and IS2'. For example, the sequences IS I and 1S2 may have been obtained for two contestants in a down-hill racing competition, and they may be synchronized by the module 11 so that the first frame of each sequence corresponds to its contestant leaving the starting gate.
The synchronized sequences are fed to a module 12 for backgroundforeground extraction, as well as to a module 13 for camera coordinate transformation estimation. For each of the image sequences, the module 12 yields a weight-mask sequence (WMS), with each weight mask being an array having an entry for each pixel position and differentiating between the scene of interest and the background/foreground. The generation of the weight mask sequence involves computerized searching of images for elements which, from frame to frame, move relative to the background. The module 13 yields sequence parameters SP1 and SP2 including camera angles of azimuth and elevation, and camera focal length and aperture among others. These parameters can be determined from each video sequence by computerized processing including interpolation and matching of images.
Alternatively, a suitably equipped camera can furnish the sequence parameters directly, thus obviating the need for their estimation by computerized processing.
The weight-mask sequences WMS 1 and WMS2 are fed to a module 13 for "alpha-layer" sequence computation. The alpha layer is an array which specifies how much weight each pixel in each of the images should receive in the composite image.
The sequence parameters SP1 and SP2 as well as the alpha layer are fed to a module 15 for projecting the aligned image sequences in a chosen focal plane, resulting in the desired composite image sequence. This is exemplified further by Figs. 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4 and Fig. 2A shows a skier A about to pass a position marker 21, with the scene being recorded from a camera position 22 with a viewing angle The position reached by A may be after an elapse of t(A) seconds from A's leaving the starting gate of a race event.
Fig. 2B shows another skier, B, in a similar position relative to the marker 21, and with the scene being recorded from a different camera position 23 and with a different, more narrow viewing angle For comparison with skier A, the position of skier B corresponds to an elapse oft(A) seconds from B leaving the starting gate. As illustrated, within t(A) seconds skier B has traveled farther along the race course as compared with skier A.
Figs. 3A and 3B show the resulting respective images.
Fig. 4 shows a combination with Figs. 2A and 2B superposed at a common camera location.
Fig. 5 shows the resulting desired image projected in a chosen focal plane, affording immediate visualization of skiers A and B as having raced jointly for t(A) seconds from a common start.
Fig. 6 shows a frame from a composite image sequence generated by a prototype implementation of the technique, with the frame corresponding to a point of intermediate timing. The value of 57.84 is the time, in seconds, that it took the slower skier to reach the point of intermediate timing, and the value of +0.04 (seconds) indicates by how much he is trailing the faster skier.
The prototype implementation of the technique was written in the "C" programming language, for execution on a SUN Workstation or a PC, for example.
Dedicated firmware or hardware can be used for enhanced processing efficiency, and especially for signal processing involving matching and interpolation.
Individual aspects and variations of the technique are described below in further detail.
A. Background/Foreground Extraction In each sequence, background and foreground can be extracted using a suitable motion estimation method. This method should be "robust", for background/foreground extraction where image sequences are acquired by a moving camera and where the acquired scene contains moving agents or objects. Required also is temporal consistency, for the extraction of background/foreground to be stable over time. Where both the camera and the agents are moving predictably, e.g. at constant speed or acceleration, temporal filtering can be used for enhanced temporal consistency.
Based on determinations of the speed with which the background moves due to camera motion, and the speed of the skier with respect to the camera, background/foreground extraction generates a weight layer which differentiates between those pixels which follow the camera and those which do not. The weight layer will then be used to generate an alpha layer for the final composite sequence.
B. Spatio-temporal Alignment of Sequences Temporal alignment involves the selection of corresponding frames in the sequences, according to a chosen criterion. Typically, in sports racing competitions, this is the time code of each sequence delivered by the timing system, e.g. to select the frames corresponding to the start of the race. Other possible time criteria are the time corresponding to a designated spatial location such as a gate or jump entry, for example.
Spatial alignment is effected by choosing a reference coordinate system for each frame and by estimating the camera coordinate transformation between the reference system and the corresponding frame of each sequence. Such estimation may be unnecessary when camera data such as camera position, viewing direction and focal length are recorded along with the video sequence. Typically, the reference coordinate system is chosen as one of the given sequences- the one to be used for the composite sequence. As described below, spatial alignment may be on a single-frame or multiple-frame basis.
B.1 Spatial Alignment on a Single-frame Basis At each step of this technique, alignment uses one frame from each of the sequences. As each of the sequences includes moving agents/objects, the method for estimating the camera coordinate transformation needs to be robust. To this end, the masks generated in background/foreground extraction can be used. Also, as motivated for background/foreground extraction, temporal filtering can be used for enhancing the temporal consistency of the estimation process.
B.2 Spatial Alignment on a Multiple-frame Basis In this technique, spatial alignment is applied to reconstructed images of the scene visualized in each sequence. Each video sequence is first analyzed over multiple frames for reconstruction of the scene, using a technique similar to the one for background/foreground extraction, for example. Once each scene has been separately reconstructed, e.g. to take in as much background as possible, the scenes can be spatially aligned as described above.
This technique allows free choice of the field of view of every frame in the scene, in contrast to the single-frame technique where the field of view has to be chosen as the one of the reference frame. Thus, in the multiple-frame technique, in case that all contestants are not visible in all the frames, the field and/or angle of view of the composite image can be chosen such that all competitors are visible.
C. Superimposing of Video Sequences After extraction of the background/foreground in each sequence and estimation of the camera coordinate transformation between each sequence and a reference system, the sequences can be projected into a chosen focal plane for simultaneous visualization on a single display. Alpha layers for each frame of each sequence are generated from the multiple background/foreground weight masks.
Thus, the composite sequence is formed by transforming each sequence into the chosen focal plane and superimposing the different transformed images with the corresponding alpha weight.
D. Applications Further to skiing competitions as exemplified, the techniques of the invention can be applied to other speed/distance sports such as car racing competitions and track and field, for example.
Further to visualizing, one application of a composite video sequence made in accordance with the invention is apparent from Fig. 6, namely for determining differential time between two runners at any desired location of a race.
This involves simple counting of the number of frames in the sequence between the two runners passing the location, and multiplying by the time interval between frames.
A composite sequence can be broadcast over existing facilities such as network, cable and satellite TV, and as video on the Internet, for example. Such sequences can be offered as on-demand services, e.g. on a channel separate from a strictly real-time main channel. Or, instead of by broadcasting over a separate channel, a composite video sequence can be included as a portion of a regular channel, displayed as a corner portion, for example.
In addition to their use in broadcasting, generated composite video sequences can be used in sports training and coaching. And, aside from sports applications, there are potential industrial applications such as car crash analysis, for example.
It is understood that composite sequences may be higher-dimensional, such as composite stereo video sequences.
In yet another application, one of the given sequences is an audio sequence to be synchronized with a video sequence. Specifically, given a video sequence of an actor or singer, A, speaking a sentence or singing a song, and an audio sequence of another actor, B, doing the same, the technique can be used to generate a voice-over or "lip-synch" sequence of actor A speaking or singing with the voice of B. In this case, which requires more than mere scaling of time, dynamic programming techniques can be used for synchronization.
The spatio-temporal realignment method can be applied in the biomedical field as well. For example, after orthopedic surgery, it is important to monitor the progress of a patient's recovery. This can be done by comparing specified movements of the patient over a period of time. In accordance with an aspect of the invention, such a comparison can be made very accurately, by synchronizing start and end of the movement, and aligning the limbs to be monitored in two or more video sequences.
9 Another application is in car crash analysis. The technique can be used for precisely comparing the deformation of different cars crashed in similar situations, to ascertain the extent of the difference. Further in car crash analysis, it is important to compare effects on crash dummies. Again, in two crashes with the same type of car, one can precisely compare how the dummies are affected depending on configuration, e.g. of safety belts.
