Technical wizardry in TV production
Dr Graham Thomas - Section Lead (Production Magic), BBC Research & Development
This talk will show some of the things that engineers at the BBC’s R&D department have been working on to make TV more exciting, by harnessing the power of computers to analyse images and create new forms of graphics. Some of the fruits of this work have been in regular use for some time, such as the football analysis graphics on Match of the Day, whilst other ideas are still being developed. The talk will show how aspects of physics, maths and computing are key to this kind of work.
