12 Claims

1. A system for providing a recommended video production, comprising:

an overview camera being adapted to capture an overview video recording of a real-world target field, and to output said overview video recording onto a data network;

one or more additional video cameras, wherein each additional video camera is adapted to capture an additional video recording covering a subarea of the real-world target field, and to output said additional video recording onto the data network, wherein the overview video camera is different from the one or more additional video cameras; and

a back-end video production unit being connected to the data network, and configured to:

receive the overview video recording captured by the overview camera and the additional video recording captured by the one or more additional video cameras, wherein video contents of the overview video recording are synchronized in time with video contents of the additional video recording,

apply one or more image processing algorithms to the overview video recording for determining interest levels of subareas of the real-world target field, said one or more image processing algorithms analyzing pixels of digital images of the overview video recording for retrieving information relating to scene occurrences of real-world events occurring within and around said subareas of the real-world target field,

select video contents among the overview video recording and the additional video recording, said selection being based on the interest levels as defined by the processed overview video recording, and

based on said selection, produce the recommended video production that, for each time unit, comprises video contents reflecting a currently highest interest level among the overview video recording and the additional video recording,

wherein the back-end video production unit is configured to select video contents by:

upon the currently highest interest level satisfying an interest threshold criterion, selecting video contents of the additional video recording that covers the biggest portion of the subarea having the currently highest interest level based on said processed video contents of the overview video recording, and

upon the currently highest interest level not satisfying the interest threshold criterion, selecting video contents of the overview video recording.

12. A method for providing a recommended video production, comprising:

capturing an overview video recording of a real-world target field, and outputting said overview video recording onto a data network;

capturing one or more additional video recordings that cover a subarea of the real-world target field, and outputting said one or more additional video recordings onto the data network;

receiving, from the data network, the overview video recording and the additional video recording, wherein video contents of the overview video recording are synchronized in time with video contents of the additional video recording;

applying one or more image processing algorithms to the overview video recording for determining interest levels of subareas of the real-world target field, said one or more image processing algorithms analyzing pixels of digital images of the overview video recording for retrieving information relating to scene occurrences of real-world events occurring within and around said subareas of the real-world target field;

selecting video contents among the overview video recording and the additional video recording, said step of selecting being based on the interest levels as defined by the processed overview video recording, wherein:

upon the currently highest interest level not satisfying the interest threshold criterion, selecting video contents of the overview video recording, and

based on said step of selecting, producing the recommended video production that, for each time unit, comprises video contents reflecting a currently highest interest level among the overview video recording and the additional video recording(s).
