AUTOMATIC CINEMATOGRAPHY SYSTEM USING REINFORCEMENT LEARNING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015259 titled 'AUTOMATIC CINEMATOGRAPHY SYSTEM USING REINFORCEMENT LEARNING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for generating a movie from a script using a computing device. Here are the key points:
- Obtaining a movie script
- Generating a list of actions based on the script
- Generating stage performance based on each action in the list
- Extracting observation information from the stage performance
- Using a camera agent trained with reinforcement learning to select a camera based on the observation information
- The selected camera includes camera settings that define its position with respect to a character
- Using the selected camera to capture a video of the stage performance
- Outputting the video
Potential applications of this technology:
- Film production: This method can be used to automate the process of generating movies from scripts, making film production more efficient.
- Virtual reality: The generated videos can be used in virtual reality experiences, providing immersive storytelling.
- Training simulations: The method can be used to create realistic training simulations, allowing users to practice in a virtual environment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Time-consuming process: Automating the movie generation process reduces the time and effort required to produce a film.
- Camera selection: The use of a camera agent trained with reinforcement learning helps in selecting the most suitable camera angles for capturing the stage performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Efficiency: The method streamlines the movie generation process, saving time and resources.
- Enhanced storytelling: By capturing the stage performance from different camera angles, the method can enhance the storytelling aspect of the movie.
- Realism: The use of stage performance and observation information ensures that the generated movie closely resembles the original script.
Original Abstract Submitted
a script-to-movie generation method for a computing device includes: obtaining a movie script; generating a list of actions according to the movie script; generating stage performance based on each action in the list of actions; extracting observation information from the stage performance; using a camera agent trained with a reinforcement learning algorithm to select a camera based on the observation information, where the camera includes camera setting that defines a position of the camera with respect to a character for which the camera shoots; using the selected camera to capture a video of the stage performance; and outputting the video.
