Abstract
A method of removing a marker projected in a scene from a view of the scene. A first image of the scene is captured using a camera (e.g.,A). A second image of the scene is captured, using the camera (A), following a marker () being projected onto an object in the scene to indicate a reference location in the scene for positioning a virtual object, the second image containing a representation of the projected marker. The second image is interleaved with the first image. A data stream is formed using at least the first and second image to generate a view of the scene, the data stream containing data representing the virtual object as part of the captured images of the scene. The virtual object is positioned relative to the projected marker captured in the second image. Pixels from the first image are used as pixel values at pixel locations where the projected marker was located in the second image to remove the projected marker from the generated view of the scene.
