Abstract
High-performance cameras become available at low cost. Therefore, it is considered that there is a demand to shoot a large number of objects to be shot from a lot of viewpoints using multiple cameras. In order to utilize many cameras in soccer, music live etc., it is necessary to decide where to shoot for each camera and shoot. Depending on the video you want to shoot, it is necessary to coordinate control among the cameras so that multiple cameras do not shoot the same place. However, it is difficult for a human to operate a large number of cameras or to perform cooperative control. Therefore, in order to shoot many object using many cameras, the cameras should be automatically controlled. Preparing a large number of camera controls according to the movement of the object when automatically controlling the camera is inefficient because the number of control becomes enormous. Therefore, in this paper, we show the control technique to automatically control multiple cameras by camera operator giving shooting guidelines by scoring. By using this control technique, it is possible for a camera operator to automatically shoot videos desired to be shot automatically. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control technique, we show the results of the experiment conducted on the simulator created by Unity. Experiments where conducted by changing the scored method, and as a result the captured video changed, and it was confirmed that multiple cameras were shooting in cooperation.
