Abstract
Constraint satisfaction based techniques for camera control has the flexibility to add new constraints easily to increase the quality of a shot. We address the problem of deducing and adjusting constraint weights at run time to guide the movement of the camera in an informed and controlled way in response to the requirement of the shot. This enables the control of weights at the frame level. We analyze the mathematical representation of the cost structure of the domain of constraint search so that the constraint solver can search the domain efficiently. We start with a simple tracking shot of a single target. The cost structure of the domain of search suggests the use of a binary search which searches along a curve for 2D and on a surface for 3D by utilizing the information about the cost structure. The problems of occlusion and collision avoidance have also been addressed.
