`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`The system enables conversion of black and white images to
`color images and/or two-dimensional images into three-di(cid:173)
`mensional images based on adding color and/or depth to
`images using masks for regions in the images, as well as
`reshaping of masks to cover objects that have moved and
`changed shape as the objects move in a sequence of images.
`Also, includes motion picture project management system for
`reviewers, coordinators and artists. Artists utilize image
`analysis and image enhancement and computer graphics pro(cid:173)
`cessing for example to convert two-dimensional images into
`three-dimensional images or otherwise create or alter motion
`pictures. Enables the efficient management of projects related
`to motion pictures to enable enterprises to manage assets,
`control costs, predict budgets and profit margins, reduce
`archival storage and otherwise provide displays tailored to
`specific roles to increase worker efficiency.
