APPLYING MOTION BLUR TO ONLY SELECT OBJECTS IN VIDEO

摘要

Motion blur is applied to select objects in a video, e.g., to footballs in flight or to a tennis ball during a tennis match. Motion blur is applied only to the tennis ball, rather than the entire screen, or only to the football. If desired, the TV can also increase the contrast or apply a glow around the object of interest so that the user can have an easier time tracking the object of interest. Should the user pause a sports broadcast at any frame or play in slow motion, the position of the object in the trick play format is interpolated as being the center position of the motion-blurred image.
