Abstract

In a virtual set a computer generated virtual image is combined with a real set. Registration data defines a transformation allowing virtual image data to be combined with image data derived from a real set. A reference plane is identified (902) in the real set which is associated (903) to a plane defined in the virtual world space. Differences in positions between the real and virtual planes are determined (904) to produce registration data.
