Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method to automatically generate synchronization points based on a common characteristic given a plurality of random video feeds. The common characteristic can be based on changes in motion, audio, image, etc between the feeds. A feedback process attempts to time align the synchronized video outputs based on discontinuities in the feeds. Once the video feeds are time aligned, the aligned content can be used for recreating a multi-view video montage or feeding it into a 3-D correlation program.
