Definitions
- the present invention relates to a karaoke system for singing during a sequence such as a video clip or a movie.
- a karaoke system such as described for instance in the European patent application EP 0782338, music, lyrics or any kind of audio data are transmitted from a transmission station to a distribution station.
- Music control means of a main module of the system airs music through a built-in speaker of a monitor and voice from an unshown microphone through said speaker.
- Image control means display a background image (such as a video image or a still image extracted from background image storage means) on the monitor, and lyrics control means display lyrics by superimposing them upon the background image.
- An image pickup device such as a CCD camera picks up an image of a singer and superimposes it on the screen of the monitor through video image control means as a superimposed image.
- Such a system defines what may be called “video mixing” in the concept of karaoke.
- the system relates to a karaoke system for singing during a sequence such a video clip or movie and comprising in series a pickup device, for picking up an image and the voice of an user, an analysis and processing device, for separating at least a part of the user from the background, a mixing and rendering device, for combining the ouput signal of said analysis and processing device and a pre-recorded material, and a displaying device, for displaying the combination signal.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a karaoke system according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 illustrates another implementation of a karaoke system according to the invention.
- the different sub-systems necessary to implement the karaoke system according to the invention are mainly an analysis and processing device 11 and a mixing and rendering device 12 .
- the analysis and processing device 11 that receives the image and voice of the user (the person shown in black) picked up by a pickup device 10 , consists of a segmentation circuit, provided for separating for instance the face of the user from the background and thus defining an alpha plane (such a circuit can be based for example on the chroma key technique, if the user is put on stage, in front of a blue screen).
- the mixing and rendering device 12 is a circuit using the shape information analyzed in the device 11 for composing the user with a background pre-recorded video or audio-video delivered by a medium 13 (said pre-recorded material is shown at the left side of the medium).
- This composition completes the audio one, provided for mixing the voice of said user with the background pre-recorded music from the song.
- a displaying device 14 such as a monitor is finally used for displaying the final result (i.e. the combination of the pre-recorded material and of what belongs specifically to the user).
- the analysis implemented in the device 11 can produce 8-bit alpha plane, which enables a better mixing on the fronteer of the incrusted object. It may also be noted that the system can replace either only the head of the user or his/her whole body.
- this option may be used for instance in a karaoke restaurant, when the whole body of a singer is incrusted in the clip/movie (the pre-recorded data can be stored on a tape, and the fortuitous singer video can be analyzed and transmitted directly to the video mixer);
- one or the two sources are compressed: one adapted framework for such a case is then the newly developed MPEG-4 standard, that enables to encode the shape and alpha plane of an object—here the face of the fortuitous user—(MPEG-4 has defined a whole system framework enabling the composition of audio and video objects).
- FIG. 2 shows a system similar to the implementation of FIG. 1 but including an additional recording device 25 ;
- the karaoke system will work on line: the pre-recorded clips are then stored on a database (on the Internet for instance), and the user is recording his/her performance at home and wants to produce the combination karaoke clip and put it on his/her homepage (the use of compression techniques is particularly useful in such a case and, more generally, in all the applications that are run in a bandwidth constrained environment);
- the user may want to only put his/her head in place of the original singer's head, which induces further processing in the mixing and rendering device 12 , since it is needed that the position of the head of the user and the orientation and posture of the body of the original singer match up.
