论文摘要
无人机和无人驾驶汽车(UAV)在电影和娱乐行业中变得越来越受欢迎,部分原因是它们的可操作性以及它们启用的动态镜头和观点。尽管存在控制无人机的位置和方向以可见性的方法,但在机器人学界仍未探索拍摄过程的其他艺术元素,例如焦点模糊和光控制。摄影机器人解决方案的缺乏部分是由于与拍摄行业中使用的相机和设备相关的成本,而且还因为最先进的照片真实的机器人模拟器仅利用完整的对焦针孔相机模型,这些摄像头模型确实包含了这些所需的艺术属性。为了克服这一点,这项工作的主要贡献是将著名的无人机模拟器Airsim赋予电影摄像头,并扩展其API以实时控制其所有参数,包括各种拍摄镜头和常见的摄影特性。在本文中,我们详细介绍了我们的Airsim修改,Cinemairsim的实施,这些示例说明了新工具的潜力,并强调了使用电影摄像头可以为机器人技术和控制的研究带来的新研究机会。 https://github.com/ppueyor/cinematicairsim
Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) are becoming increasingly popular in the film and entertainment industries in part because of their maneuverability and the dynamic shots and perspectives they enable. While there exists methods for controlling the position and orientation of the drones for visibility, other artistic elements of the filming process, such as focal blur and light control, remain unexplored in the robotics community. The lack of cinemetographic robotics solutions is partly due to the cost associated with the cameras and devices used in the filming industry, but also because state-of-the-art photo-realistic robotics simulators only utilize a full in-focus pinhole camera model which does incorporate these desired artistic attributes. To overcome this, the main contribution of this work is to endow the well-known drone simulator, AirSim, with a cinematic camera as well as extended its API to control all of its parameters in real time, including various filming lenses and common cinematographic properties. In this paper, we detail the implementation of our AirSim modification, CinemAirSim, present examples that illustrate the potential of the new tool, and highlight the new research opportunities that the use of cinematic cameras can bring to research in robotics and control. https://github.com/ppueyor/CinematicAirSim
