CNMAT Mann, Freed: Making Sense of Many Angles using Radial Basis Function Interpolation and Salience Analysis

This is one clever set of techniques we should assemble for making aesthetically interesting uses of many streams of video.

Pervasive Cameras: Making Sense of Many Angles using Radial Basis Function Interpolation and Salience Analysis
Yotam Mann, Adrian Freedc

Abstract. This paper describes situations which lend themselves to the use of numerous cameras and techniques for displaying many camera streams simultaneously. The focus here is on the role of the “director” in sorting out the onscreen content in an artistic and understandable manner. We describe techniques which we have employed in a system designed for capturing and displaying many video feeds incorporating automated and high level control of the composition on the screen using radial basis function interpolation.
