Video: Casio’s Dynamic Photo green-screen-like technology

by Doug Berger on Jan 10, 2009 at 03:02 AM

At Casio’s press conference, founder Kazuo Kashio wowed us with the company’s latest development in portable video—Dynamic Photo.  Dynamic Photo is similar to a feature in Apple’s Photo Booth you may be familiar with.  First, you capture a video of someone using one of their new point and shoot cameras, then you take a picture of the background without them in the frame, let the camera do some processing, and whala—you can make the background disappear.  The technology finds the difference between the frames in the video and the picture you took, and creates a “cut-out” of the person, so you can place them on top of any other picture.  This is similar to the technology Hollywood uses with green screens, however sans the green screen.  Check out the video demonstrations and let us know what you think.

Dynamic Photo will be available in many of the company’s new products, including the new EX-FC100.

    The special effects that can be created with green screen software is so incredible.But gives you the control that only a few years ago was only possible for the professionals.Digital backgrounds can so easily be manipulated to suit the situation.
