摘要:
An apparatus generating audio cues for content indicative of the position of audio objects within the content comprising: an audio processor receiving raw audio tracks for said content and information indicative of the positions of at least some of said audio tracks within frames of said content, said audio processor generating corresponding audio parameters; an authoring tool receiving said audio parameters and generating encoding coefficients, said audio parameters including audio cue of the position of audio objects corresponding to said tracks in at least one spatial dimension; and a first audio/video encoder receiving an in- put and encoding said input into an audio visual content having visual objects and audio objects, said audio objects being disposed at location corresponding to said one spatial position, said encoder using said encoding coefficients for said encoding.

Method and apparatus for uniquely identifying a copy of a motion picture disposed on a media. The method includes the steps of selecting a two or more motion picture scenes. Each of the motion picture scenes is an identifiable portion of the motion picture distinct from every other portion of the motion picture. Once the scenes have been identified, two or more sequences can be defined within each of the motion picture scenes such that each sequence includes two or more frames. For example, the motion picture can have three scenes, each divided into twenty eight sequences, with each of the sequences containing 12 frames. Once the scenes and sequences have been selected, the method at least one of the sequences from each scene is marked to define a uniquely identifiable marking pattern on the media.

Image-based lighting for use in rendering of digital objects is derived from image data collected from a real motion-picture set. The image data includes sets of correlated images at different exposure levels (302), each corresponding to a selected location. The image data is processed to define an extended dynamic range panoramic image (304) for each selected set location. The image data is color and intensity corrected based on a scaled reference object. At least key lights are modeled (306) for the set by processing a plurality of such panoramic images. Other lighting may be defined by interpolating from the panoramic images to mathematically define a location-specific set of fill lights. In the alternative, other set lighting may be modeled by projecting panoramic image data onto a dynamically sub-dividable light primitive derived from the set geometry. Any desired object may then rendered using the defined lights, and inserted into a corrected real image of the set at the desired location.

A digital projector (50) that projects moving images (60) from a data stream also generates black intervals (BI) selected to induce a stroboscopic effect in a viewer's eye. The black signals are interspaced with the images in a manner so as to simulate the operation of a standard movie projector thereby insuring that the effects of temporal and spatial artefacts normally associated with digital projectors are reduced.
