This paper considers techniques for capturing 3D information from image sequences for applications in film and TV production. The potential applications fall into two classes, one requiring 3D data that can be represented as a depth map from a single viewpoint, and the other requiring a full 3D model. Applications for both classes of data are briefly reviewed, and current work on 3D data capture in two EU-funded projects is described. The MetaVision project is considering depth map acquisition, and results based on a three-camera stereo system are presented. The development of a multi-camera system using widely-separated cameras in a studio environment is being carried out as a part of the ORIGAMI project.
