Abstract(in English) In this paper, we present a method for capturing omni-directional images without shadow for the background image of an image-based virtual studio. We are studying a method to manipulate lighting conditions in the virtual studio system. It is necessary to remove any shadow in the background image when it is captured. For this purpose, we have developed a special camera system. The system consists of a remote controlled pan-tilt unit, an IEEE 1394 based camera and a coaxial light source. The camera is able to capture shadowless images while a xenon lamp which is mounted at the conjugate position of the camera illuminates an environment t be captured. We have experimentally examine the effectiveness of the method.
