CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a U.S. National Phase patent application which claims benefit to International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2018/108375 filed on Sep. 28, 2018.

TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments generally relate to graphics systems. More particularly, embodiments relate to the automated generation of camera paths in graphics systems.

BACKGROUND

Recent developments in the delivery of immersive sports media experiences may have involved using a large array of cameras installed around a stadium to capture three-dimensional (3D) video of a live game being played in the stadium. Crucial moments in the game may therefore be paused during playback of the video and rendered as volumetric content that is viewable in 360°. The selection, however, of the “flyover” camera path to be used when presenting crucial highlight moments (e.g., “freeze frame” moments that are very interesting to the viewing audience) may be manually conducted by an individual (e.g., operator). Such a solution may be neither cost effective nor scalable. Furthermore, manually selecting camera paths may add latency that has a negative impact on the user viewing experience.
