A post-processing of video content in order to provide a capability to insert ad content, having a method to produce a modified video content from an original video content. The method comprising: analyzing the original video content to detect at least one marker, said marker comprising a marker surface delimited by a marker identification; loading profile data of a target user; determining, based at least on the profile data a replacement content; adjusting the replacement content into the marker surface; and replacing into the original video content the marker surface by the adjusted replacement content to produce the modified video content.

The present invention discloses a new method for analyzing, modifying, and distributing digital images and video in a quick, efficient, practical and/or cost-effective way. The method of processing video can take a different region or object and replace the pixels in the frames of the scenes that comprise the features and characteristics of the identified region or object with a different set of pixels. The replacement or other customizations of the frames and scenes lead to a naturally integrated video or image which is indistinguishable by the human eye or other visual system. In one embodiment, this invention can be used to provide different advertising elements into an image or set of images for different viewers, or to enable a viewer to control elements within a video and add their own preference or other elements.

An image processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain identification information for identifying a restriction area which is set in a three-dimensional coordinate system, the restriction area being an area in which display of a virtual object inserted in a virtual viewpoint image based on captured images obtained by a plurality of cameras that capture images in different angles and viewpoint information corresponding to a specification of a virtual viewpoint is restricted, wherein the virtual object is not included in the captured images obtained by the plurality of cameras, and a control unit configured to restrict the display of the virtual object in the virtual viewpoint image so that the display of the virtual object being in the restriction area, which is identified by the identification information obtained by the obtaining unit, is restricted.

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for generating recommendation to include advertisement substance in a photographic area. The method includes one or more processors identifying a photographic area of a camera. The method further includes determining whether the photographic area of the camera includes advertisement substance. The method further includes determining a modification to settings of the camera based on a positioning and focus of the advertisement substance within the photographic area of the camera. The method further includes determining a score corresponding to an image frame that applies the determined modification to the settings of the camera.

A virtual image processing method, an image processing system, and a storage medium used for realizing virtualization of a captured picture, the method includes the following steps: acquiring a reference position and a real-time position of a camera device; calculating a movement parameter of the real-time position relative to the reference position; virtualizing, according to the movement parameter, the position and the posture of the virtual camera device, and calculating a perspective parameter of a scene to be replaced with respect to the virtualized virtual camera device; encoding a virtual scene according to the perspective parameter; and using the encoded virtual scene to replace the scene to be replaced.

The invention relates to a system (10) for producing augmented images, comprising at least one image-recording device (12), at least one analysis module (14) connected to the image-recording device (12), and at least one display device (18) connected to the analysis module (14), wherein the image-recording device (12) is designed to transfer images, in particular image data, to the analysis module (14), and wherein the analysis module (14) is designed to transfer control data (S2) to the display device (18), wherein the control data (S2) comprise the image data and instruction data for the display of at least one augmentation in an image, wherein the display device (18) is designed to reproduce a recorded image and an associated augmentation on the basis of the control data (S2), characterized in that the system (10) also comprises an expansion module (16), which is arranged in the transfer path between the analysis module (14) and the display device (18). According to the invention, the analysis module (14) is also designed to produce at least one piece of reliability information (R2) for each image, and the expansion module (16) is designed to receive the control data (S2) and the reliability information (R2) from the analysis module (14) and to produce control data (S2b) modified on the basis of the control data (S2) and the reliability information (R2) and to transfer the modified control data to the display device (18).

A post-processing of video content in order to provide a capability to insert ad content, having a method to produce a modified video content from an original video content. The method comprising: analyzing the original video content to detect at least one marker, said marker comprising a marker surface delimited by a marker identification; loading profile data of a target user; determining, based at least on the profile data a replacement content; adjusting the replacement content into the marker surface; and replacing into the original video content the marker surface by the adjusted replacement content to produce the modified video content.

The technology described herein relates to a system for generating a simulated environment for, among other aspects, modeling property. In more detail, the technology relates to generating a virtual three dimensional (virtual 3-D) space having one or more virtual characters associated with one or more users. The virtual 3-D environment, in one non-limiting example, can simulate a process for selecting and viewing property by allowing a user to simulate engagement with a realtor and/or view and engage with the property using virtual reality technology. For example, a user may wear a virtual reality headset that enables him/her to simulate visiting a realtor's office where the user can then select one or more properties to view. Upon selection, the user may enter view the property in the virtual environment and engage with different elements associated with the property.
