An image capture system includes: a first mobile unit configured to move around the target area; a second mobile unit adjustably coupled to the first mobile unit; a dual-camera unit, operatively coupled to the second mobile unit, including: a first camera to capture structural data; and a second camera to capture color data, wherein the first mobile unit and the second mobile unit are configured to move the first camera and the second camera.

Multi-camera image capture system

A dual-camera image capture system may include a first light source, disposed above a target area, a first mobile unit, configured to rotate around the target area, and a second mobile unit, operatively coupled to the first mobile unit, configured to move vertically along the first mobile unit. The dual-camera image capture system may further include a second light source, operatively coupled to the second mobile unit and a dual-camera unit, operatively coupled to the second mobile unit. The dual-camera image capture system may include a first camera configured to capture structural data and a second camera configured to capture color data. The first mobile unit and the second mobile unit may be configured to move the first camera and the second camera to face the target area in a variety of positions around the target area.

Dual-camera image capture system

An example method for encoding computer-generated video content may comprise: generating, based on a geometric model, a sequence of video frames. The example method may further comprise determining, based on the geometric model, a velocity map comprising a plurality of velocity values for a plurality of pixels, wherein each velocity value represents a difference between a viewport position of a pixel in a current frame and a previous frame. The example method may further comprise determining, based on the velocity map, a plurality of motion vectors, wherein each motion vector corresponds to a macroblock comprising one or more pixels of a video frame of the sequence of video frames. The example method may further comprise producing, by a processing device, an output bit stream representative of the sequence of video frames, by encoding, using the motion vectors, the sequence of video frames.
