Abstract :
The Virtual Studio concept replaces real background sets with computer-generated synthetic scenes. Image sequences combine real foreground action, shot in the studio, with computer generated backgrounds. The Mona Lisa project seeks to develop and integrate technologies (algorithms, software, and hardware) needed to construct, handle, and render 3D models in real time
