The AutoPost plugins (http://autopost-project.eu) aim to automate major parts of the daily workload in audio-visual post-production, particularly for small and medium post houses and, with it, to make post-production more efficient by reducing time-consuming and costly manual processing. To ensure industry adoption, the algorithms are integrated into OpenFX for multi-platform post-production targeting regular 2D and 3D productions, Visual effects and 2D-to-3D conversion.

Highlights:

• SDKs and plugins that bridge the gap between state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms and commercial tools
• Ready-to-market tracking and matting plugins for established post-production platforms
• Solutions targeting small and medium post-production companies for reducing their overall production costs and boosting their competitiveness in the global market
• Avoid expensive green screen, motion capture or rotomation techniques
• User-centered research for post-production

Applications

• Object and skin manipulation
• Appearance modification: digital makeup, ageing and de-ageing
• Scene extension and replacement
• Compositing and matting hair with arbitrary and natural backgrounds •
• Object selection for color grading and finishing
