Vivid tennis player rendering system using broadcasting game videos

Image-based rendering has been highly developed for its wide applications such as view synthesis and special effects in movies. In this paper, we proposed a tennis player rendering system synthesizing diverse player action/motion based on extracted database from broadcasting game videos. The system gathers database by retrieving the player from videos and synthesizes various kinds of player action/motion according to the user's instructions. The results show that the proposed rendering system can render smooth action/motion transition with satisfactory visual effect. For further applications, the proposed system can be used in interactive tennis games with image textures.
