CHROMA KEY COMPOSITING
CHROMA KEY COMPOSITING
Introduction
Chroma key compositing, or Chroma keying, is a technique for mixing two images or frames together in which a color from one image is removed, revealing another image behind it..
This technique is also referred to as color keying, color-separation overlay.
History
Travelling Matte - A process that was used to superimpose backdrops with actors performing against a blank wall.
In the 1930's, the blue screen method was developed at RKO Radio pictures to make more effective films.
Travelling Matte
ProcessThe portions of the video which match the
preselected color are replaced by the alternate background video. This process is commonly known as "keying", "keying out" or simply a "key".
BackdropGreen BackdropBlue BackdropThese backdrops are usually used because these colors are considered to be the furthest away from skin tone.
Processing a Green Backdrop
Green is currently used as a backdrop more than any other color because image sensors in digital video cameras are most sensitive to green, due to the Bayer pattern allocating more pixels to the green channel, mimicking the human eye's increased sensitivity to green light.
Green Screen Technique
Processing a Blue backdropBlue was preferred as a backdrop before digital
keying became commonplace because of the existence of high contrast film that was sensitive only to the blue color.

ClothingA Chroma key subject must avoid wearing clothes
which are similar in color to the Chroma key color(s) unless intentional
Sensors are placed on the areas where the image must be modified or replaced with some other image keeping the image position constant.

AlgorithmDifferent quality and speed-optimized techniques
are used for implementing color keying in softwareA function f(r, g, b) → α is applied to every pixel in
the imageα ≤ 0 means the pixel is the green screen, α ≥ 1
means the pixel is in the foreground object. Values between 0 and 1 indicate a pixel that is partially covered by the foreground object
ApplicationsIt is commonly used for Weather forecast
broadcasts, wherein the presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map, but in the studio it is actually a large blue or green background.
It is used also used in the entertainment industry for special effects in movies and video games.
Key BenefitsThe consumption of time is reduced to a
maximum extent.Chroma keying reduces the complexity in film
making.The production cost is minimized compared to the
cost of making used in Travelling Matte technique.
DrawbacksDifficulties emerge with blue or green screen
when a costume in an effects shot must be of the same color. For example, Spider-Man and the Green Goblin.
Underexposing or overexposing a colored backdrop can lead to poor saturation level
Any Queries…???

you…
