Abstract
The present disclosure describes techniques for creating videos using virtual characters. Creation of a video may be initiated by a user. Camera input comprising a human body of the user may be received. The camera input may be split into a first stream for removing the human body and a second stream for animating a virtual character in the video. An inpainting filter may be applied to remove the human body in real time from the camera input. The inpainting filter may be configured to accelerate texture sampling. Output of the inpainting filter may be blended with images comprised in the camera input to generate camera input backgrounds.
