Augmented reality in sport scenarios using cameras mounted on a tripod

[ES] In this paper we address the problem of inserting virtual content in a video sequence. The method we propose uses just image information. We perform primitive tracking, camera calibration, real and virtual camera synchronisation and finally rendering to insert the virtual content in the real video sequence. To simplify the calibration step we assume that cameras are mounted on a tripod (which is a common situation in practise). The primitive tracking procedure, which uses lines and circles as primitives, is performed by means of a CART (Classification and Regression Tree). Finally, the virtual and real camera synchronisation and rendering is performed using functions of OpenGL (Open Graphic Library). We have applied the method proposed to sport event scenarios, specifically, soccer matches. In order to illustrate its performance, it has been applied to real HD (High Definition) video sequences. The quality of the proposed method is validated by inserting virtual elements in such HD video sequence.

La construcción de la comedia española de buenas costumbres a partir del recurso apariencia frente a realidad

[ES]En este trabajo se propone un acercamiento a la construcción de la trama y los temas de la comedia española de buenas costumbres a partir del recurso de ‘la apariencia frente a la realidad’. Tal recurso se ramifica en cuatro procedimientos: fingimiento de una condición, fingimiento de una identidad, petimetría y apariencia en relación con la intriga. Para ello se toman obras representativas del género y se rastrean situaciones que reflejen los procedimientos citados. La conclusión es que el recurso funciona como tendencia unitaria que permite a los autores diseñar personajes y ejemplificar conductas, de modo que se adecuen al propósito moralizante de la comedia. [EN]This article provides an approach to the construction of the plot and themes in the Spanish comedy of good manners, using the concept of ‘appearance versus reality’ as a starting point. This concept is manifested in four ways: as a pretended condition, as a pretended identity, as “petimetría”, and as appearance in relation to the plot. I will use some representative works of the genre in order to see how these four elements are reflected in the texts. As I will try to show, the ‘appearance versus reality’ resource works as a unitary tendency that allows the authors to draw their characters and to illustrate a wide range of conducts, which suits the moralizing purpose of the comedy.
