ABSTRACT:
An improved self keyer preconditions a fill video prior to mixing with a background video under control of a self key signal derived from the fill video. A variable gray luminance signal is substituted for low luminance portions of the fill video under control of a precondition key signal derived from the self key signal to produce the preconditioned fill video. The resulting output video has a smooth luminance transition between the fill and background videos in lieu of an unpleasant black artifact at the edges of the fill video.
