Video Face Replacement System Using a Modified Poisson Blending Technique

Research Abstract
In this paper, we present a system for video face replacement that requires only two videos of a source actor and a target actor using only a single digital camera. Existing video face replacement techniques usually need special equipment or 3D models; the proposed system achieves a realistic replacement of faces without using 3D models or special equipment. There are many applications of the proposed system that are presented in this paper using only two footages of actors. We can replace a frontal face with another one; this gives the possibility to change the appearance of actors without makeup or any prior settings. We introduce a new technique for face blending that is based on a gradient domain method called Modified Poisson Blending (MPB) to reduce the bleeding problem of Poisson image editing, and achieve realistic results of face replacement. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system using MPB technique produces more realistic results than the results of other cloning techniques.

Fast Video Completion Using Patch-based Synthesis and Image Registration

Research Abstract
Video completion has many applications in movie post-production, such as removing unwanted objects, artifacts, or logos. Most state-of-the-art video completion techniques are time-consuming in order to ensure spatial-temporal coherence. This paper presents a Fast Video Completion (FVC) technique that is based on patch-based synthesis and image registration. FVC generates key frames without the unwanted objects over the input video using a patch-based synthesis. The rest of the video completion process requires a low computing time using the registered prior frame. The results of the proposed technique show that FVC preserves the spatial-temporal coherence in an acceptable time, that makes the proposed technique is applicable for long videos.

Cut off Your Arm: A Medium-Cost System for Integrating a 3D Object with a Real Actor

Research Abstract
In the film industry, many tricks have been employed using the integration of a 3D object with a real actor. Usually, attaching a 3D object with a real actor is a costly process because of the usage of an expensive motion capture system. This paper presents a system using a medium-cost motion capture system and a chroma-keying technique for generating a video footage of an actor with an integrated 3D object (e.g. amputated arm). The result of the proposed system shows the attaching process of different 3D objects with a real actor who is combined with a new background scene in the same viewpoint.
