Composing Video Using the Luminance Key
A video is created by detecting the differences of the components of brightness
(luminance) to cut unwanted portions from the DSK FILL video. This method
is referred to as “luminance key.”
Generally, the bright characters on a black background are cut out of the DSK
FILL video and superimposed on a background video.
In the example below, the character string “LESSON 1” cut from the DSK FILL
video is composed with the background video.
