Abstract
Compositing is provided in which visual elements from different sources, including live action objects and computer graphic (CG) merged in a constant feed. Representative output images are produced during a live action shoot. The compositing system uses supplementary data, such as depth data of the live action objects for integration with CG items and light marker detection data for device calibration and performance capture. Varying capture times (e.g., exposure times) and processing times are tracked to align with corresponding incoming images and data.
