ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method and system for transforming a first sequence of video frames of a first dynamic scene captured at regular time intervals to a second sequence of video frames depicting a second dynamic scene wherein for at least two successive frames of the second sequence, there are selected from at least three different frames of the first sequence portions that are spatially contiguous in the first dynamic scene and copied to a corresponding frame of the second sequence so as to maintain their spatial continuity in the first sequence. In a second aspect, for at least one feature in the first dynamic scene respective portions of the first sequence of video frames are sampled at a different rate than surrounding portions of the first sequence of video frames; and the sampled portions are copied to a corresponding frame of the second sequence.
