Vicon to showcase boujou 5 in special presentations at SIGGRAPH 2009.


Vicon will be showcasing a pre-release version of its eagerly awaited boujou 5 at the SIGGRAPH conference in two weeks in New Orleans. boujou is the industry leading camera match-moving software for artists to capture complex camera motion and calibration data from image sequences.

Building on its established ease of use and automation, boujou 5 is enhanced with a unique new way of solving 3D camera positioning and motion paths from image sequences. This new approach radically accelerates the solve and allows users more manual interaction within complex shots.

The upgrade includes new features that many existing boujou users will have been eagerly waiting for:
• New Automatic Sequential Solver-Previous versions of boujou took the entire shot into account before delivering a solve. Now, the application looks at a single frame at a time, which not only enables the user to intervene, it can make the entire process a lot faster.

• Fully functional Graph Editor-Lets the user manually tweak the camera data and, if necessary, reprocess a shot. boujou 5 also provides the ability to lock valid sections of solved data or sections which are known to be correct, which animators can then use to improve other segments of an image sequence.

• Reference Frames- Allows users to import still images taken with any camera and use them to assist in a solve.
