After a testing phase, commercial productions went live in November 2018. The core technology for volumetric video production is 3D human body reconstruction (3DHBR), developed by Fraunhofer HHI. This technology captures real persons with our novel volumetric capture system and creates naturally moving dynamic 3D models, which can then be observed from arbitrary viewpoints in a virtual or augmented environment. Thanks to the large number of test productions and new requirements from customers, several lessons have been learned during the first year of commercial activity. The processing workflow for capture and production of volumetric video has been continuously evolved such as process-dependent color grading and a new encoding scheme for volumetric video. Furthermore, specific challenges have been tackled, for instance, fast movements and relighting of actors.", "abstract$meta": { "confidence": "high", "note": "Ingested from SMPTE IDAMS (_source/SMPTE/Journal Article Repository/2020/7261654/9204870/09204894.xml) via idamsIngest.js", "source": "parsed", "updated": "2026-10-07T17:09:33.718Z", "version": "smpte-idams-publication@v1" }, "authors": [ { "bio": "Oliver Schreer is the head of the Immersive Media & Communication Research Group, Vision & Imaging Technologies Department, Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI), Berlin, Germany, and an associate professor at the Technical University of Berlin, Berlin.
