NEAR-INFRARED VIDEO COMPOSITING

Various methods and systems are disclosed for near-infrared video compositing techniques and an associated immersive video environment. In an example, a system includes: a dual camera system having a visible light camera and an infrared camera to capture light from a field of view; and a display screen to reflect a video output projected from a display source. In this system configuration, the display screen is arranged relative to the dual camera system to allow infrared light and visible light from a field of view to travel through the display screen and reach the cameras of the dual camera system. In an example, the video output provides real-time video captured from the visible light camera, an information from the infrared camera is used to create a matte of an object in the field of view within the real-time video captured from the visible light camera.
