Automated video production

摘要

A method for producing video coverage of an event by automatically switching between available camera views based on data gathered from the event. Cameras may be fixed or may be automated to track a selected participant, or to anticipate a desired view based on event data. Sources of data include the location of participants derived from tracking cameras and image analysis, and automatically updated scoring information in the case of sports coverage. A series of rules can be formulated for a given event state to guide and select cameras in response to each detected event state.
