Abstract
Camera control is essential in both virtual and real-world environments. The quality of the camera’s placement and motion may spell the difference between usability and confusion. Our work focuses on an instance of camera control called target following, and offers an algorithm for following multiple targets with unpredictable trajectories, among known obstacles. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first attempting to address this important problem. 1 Our Method and Results In multi-targets following, the camera’s primary objective is to follow and maximize visibility of multiple moving targets. For example, in video games, a third-person view camera may be controlled to follow a group of characters through complicated virtual environments. In robotics, a camera attached to robotic manipulators could also be controlled to observe live performers in a concert,
