Recording

The inputs to our system consist of synchronized multi-view video streams that are recorded in our acquisition room (Fig. 1). We record the person with a convergent arrangement of cameras (Fig. 2) around the center of the scene. In each camera view, the silhouette of the person in the foregound is computed using a background segmentation scheme based on per-pixel color statistics. In the current setup, we use 8 cameras for recording.
