Dynamic image content overlaying

A computer program product for dynamic image content overlay, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• analyze a digital video stream for the presence of a placeholder, wherein the placeholder overlays a dynamic image space on a display object and includes:
• a content identifier;
• a contour mesh conveying information regarding the contours and skew of the display object;
• and at least one corner glyph comprising the content identifier bracketed by a first dimension line and a second dimension line, the first dimension line and second dimension line intersecting at a right angle, a first end cap on the first dimension line, a second end cap on the second dimension line, and one or more scale marks on the first dimension line, wherein the content identifier is a number;
• determine the content identifier;
• retrieve select image content from a content database based on the content identifier;
• determine an orientation of the dynamic image space;
• transform the select image content to produce transformed image content that matches the contour mesh and the orientation of the dynamic image space;
• and
• replace the placeholder with the transformed image content to produce an embedded digital video stream.

A system for dynamic image content overlay comprising:

• a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
• program instructions to record a digital image stream of a moving display object, the digital image stream comprises frames;
• program instructions to analyze the digital video stream in real time during the recording for the presence of a placeholder, wherein the placeholder overlays a dynamic image space on the display object and includes a content identifier and a contour mesh;
• program instructions to determine the content identifier;
• program instructions to retrieve select image content from a content database based on the content identifier;
• program instructions to determine an orientation of the dynamic image space for each frame of the digital image stream in which the placeholder is present;
• program instructions to transform the select image content to produce transformed image content that matches a contour mesh and an orientation of the dynamic image space for each frame of the digital image stream in which the placeholder is present;
• and
• program instructions to replace the placeholder with the transformed image content for each frame of the digital image stream in which the placeholder is present to produce an embedded digital video stream;
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory;
• and
• wherein the placeholder further includes at least one corner glyph comprising the content identifier bracketed by a first dimension line and a second dimension line, the first dimension line and second dimension line intersecting at a right angle, a first end cap on the first dimension line, a second end cap on the second dimension line, and one or more scale marks on the first dimension line, wherein the content identifier is a number.
