> wanted to film.
>
> 2) changing the spatial and/or temporal arrangement of actors in a scene
> during post-production, which is also very relevant in production of
> stereoscopic 3D footage where scene composition has to be adjusted to
> specific display settings.
>
> 3) Conversion of footage originally filmed in 2D to 3D which requires a
> combination of segmentation, depth reconstruction and dynamic scene
> inpainting.
>
> The reason why automatic, or at least semi-automatic, tools for solving
> these problems don't exist today is that fundamental underlying problems
> from graphics and vision still await a solution, such as: tracking and
> correspondence finding at sufficient detail and accuracy, automatic
> segmentation, and dynamic scene inpainting even under starkly varying
> environment conditions.
>
> In this PhD project, we want to attack these problems and thereby build
