Portable chroma key compositing and lighting adjustment system

A computer implemented system for Chroma key compositing and automated lighting adjustment, comprising:

• a background structure, the background structure comprising:
• a monochromatic color area comprising a plurality of monochromatic sub-areas;
• a subject region disposed in front of the monochromatic color area, the subject region comprising a plurality of sub-regions;
• a plurality of light sources illuminating the plurality of monochromatic sub-areas and/or plurality of sub-regions;
• and
• a background structure processor in operative communication with the plurality of light sources, the background structure processor identifies each light source of the plurality of light sources with a location data point in reference to the location of the respective light source on the background structure, wherein the background structure processor is configured to dim or brighten one or more light sources of the plurality of light sources;
• and
• a computing device comprising:
• a processor;
• a computing device display;
• a camera;
• a battery;
• and
• a software application, the software application in operative communication with the background structure processor, the software application comprising:
• a database management system (DBMS) that maintains user data, log-in credentials data, a background replacement library data, and created composites data;
• a compositing module, in digital communication with the DBMS, computing device display, and background structure processor, the compositing module:
• retrieves a background replacement image/video from the background replacement library data;
• engages the camera to focus a camera shot on the subject region and monochromatic area;
• superimposes the camera shot over the background replacement image/video;
• detects the monochromatic color area in the camera shot;
• removes visibility of the monochromatic color area, thereby displaying the background replacement image/video located behind monochromatic color area;
• executes image/video capture;
• and
• stores the captured image/video in the DBMS;
• and
• a lighting adjustment module, in digital communication with the compositing module, the lighting adjustment module:
• detects the monochromatic color area in the camera shot;
• executes a light detection analysis to determine the presence of any non-uniform illumination imposed upon the monochromatic color area;
• identifies the one or more monochromatic sub-areas exhibiting the presence of non-uniform illumination;
• accesses a pre-mapped location grid of the plurality of light sources on the background structure from the background structure processor via the compositing module, and associates the one or more monochromatic sub-areas exhibiting non-uniform illumination with one or more corresponding light sources;
• computes a corrective action for the one or more light sources corresponding to the one or more monochromatic sub-areas exhibiting non-uniform lighting, wherein the corrective action includes dimming or brightening the respective light source;
• and
• commands the background structure processor to execute the corrective action for the one or more light sources on the background structure;
• wherein the background structure is embodied in an inflatable background structure, the inflatable background structure comprising:
• a back-wall;
• a first side-wall that extends from a first back-wall edge;
• a second side-wall that extends from a second back-wall edge, the second back-wall edge situated opposite to the first back-wall edge, wherein the first side-wall, back-wall and second side-wall form a semi-enclosure about a first subject area, the surface of the semi-enclosure comprising of a monochromatic color;
• a first ceiling disposed above the back-wall, first side-wall, and second side-wall, wherein the surface facing the first subject area comprising of the monochromatic color;
• an overhang ceiling extending from the first ceiling;
• a first vertical lighting module affixed to the first side-wall, the first lighting module containing a first plurality of light sources, the first plurality of light sources oriented towards the surface of the semi-enclosure, the first plurality of light sources configured to be selectively dimmed or brightened by the background structure processor;
• a second vertical lighting module affixed to the second side-wall, the second lighting module containing a second plurality of light sources, the second plurality of light sources oriented towards the surface of the semi-enclosure, the second plurality of light configured to be selectively dimmed or brightened by the background structure processor;
• a crown horizontal lighting module affixed to the first ceiling, the crown lighting module contains a third plurality of light sources, the third plurality of light sources oriented towards the surface of the semi-enclosure and first subject area, the third plurality of light sources configured to be selectively dimmed or brightened by the background structure processor;
• and
• an overhang lighting module affixed to the overhang ceiling, the overhang lighting module contains a fourth plurality of light sources, the fourth plurality of light sources oriented towards the first subject area, the fourth plurality of light sources configured to be selectively dimmed or brightened by the background structure processor.
