We present an image and video editing tool that allows us to modify a region of any image or video by another image or video. This application is useful for advertisements, commercials, music videos, movies, etc. We name to our application the Augmentation Virtual Screen (AVScreen). AVScreen has different steps when applied to images than when it is applied to videos. The main difference for augmenting videos with respect to fixed images is that the occlusions need be managed. Moving objects in the foreground (FG) may occlude the augmented region in background (BG). So that we use a procedure for FG/BG video segmentation, that is implemented in NVIDIA video cards to fulfill the real-time requirement.
