Method and system for producing an animated image sequence using wide-angle images

摘要

A system for producing an animated image sequence comprises an image processor and an animated character generator. The image processor processes a portion of at least one wide-angle image to form an image signal representative of at least one perspective corrected image. The animated character generator is responsive to the image signal and at least one control signal for generating an animated character within the at least one perspective corrected image. The animated character has at least one graphical member which moves in dependence upon the at least one control signal. In a preferred embodiment, the system further comprises at least one sensor for sensing a position of a body member of a user. The position of the body member is used to control the movement of a graphical member corresponding to the body member.
