Providing a Real Time method for designing a Virtual Studio software in order to create a virtual studio application automatically

Nowadays, with the diversity of topics in television programs, the use of virtual studio technology has spread throughout the world. Making use of virtual studio technology has greatly reduced the cost of making television programs. In this technology, the image of the real character, which forms the foreground image, is firstly captured in a space covered with green/blue curtain, and on the other side, a virtual decoration is created as a studio in virtual form, which is considered as the background image. Then, the foreground image and the background image are combined together during the composition step and they lead to the production of a uniform program. Nowadays, the creation of virtual studio is done using 3D-graphic-softwares such as blender, which have their own complexities, and all the steps are done manually, therefore using such software packages for creating a virtual studio requires lots of time and experience. However, a software such as Blender, in addition to creating a virtual studio, has many other uses such as 3D printing, modeling and architecture, etc. Thus, it has many kinds of editors that not all are required for creating a virtual studio and their existence only leads to slowness of the software and over-utilization of the system resources. The present work, by making use of the scripting feature of the Blender software and performing a four-step process on this software, aims at achieving an independent software, which is based on Blender software and is just used for the special purpose of virtual studio. In this way, creating a virtual studio becomes easier, faster, and less complicated and many steps are taken automatically. Using the developed system, the user only needs to upload the video to the virtual studio software and will obtain the final output without taking any additional action.
