Abstract: Method and apparatus for summarizing video data is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes accessing face information that is associated with at least one identified person within frames of the video data, examining user specifications for selecting portions of the video data, comparing the user specifications with the face information to determine indicia of interest related to each of the frames, identifying at least one of the frames that are in accordance with user specifications based on the indicia of interest and forming summary video data using the at least one identified frame of the video data.

Abstract: Generating smart tags that allow a user to locate any portion of image content without viewing the image content is disclosed. Image-based processing is performed on image content to find an event of interest that is an occurrence captured by the image content. Thus, metadata is derived from analyzing the image content. The metadata is then analyzed. Different types of characteristics associated with portions of the image content as indicated by the metadata are detected. Responsive to this, tags are created, and different types of tags are applied to the portions of image content to categorize the portions into classes. Thus, a tag is associated with each portion of the image content including the event of interest. The tag describes a characteristic of that portion of the image content. Display of the different types of tags is initiated for selective viewing of the portions of the image content.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for grouping video tracks in a video editing timeline comprises displaying a plurality of video tracks in a video editing timeline; receiving a selection of video tracks to be grouped from the plurality of video tracks that are displayed; displaying the video tracks selected for grouping as a single video track in the video editing timeline; and applying an indicator identifying the video tracks as grouped in the video editing timeline.

Abstract: Embodiments herein include presenting smart tags describing characteristics of image content in a hierarchy, and performing operations on the hierarchy to find particular image content within a larger amount of image content. Image content and corresponding tags are maintained. The corresponding tags associated with the image content are presented in a hierarchy. Each tag type in the hierarchy represents a characteristic associated with the image content. Each tag in the hierarchy is derived based on image-based processing applied to the image content. In response to receiving a selection of at least one tag in the hierarchy, display of the image content associated with the at least one tag is initiated. A user is able to quickly and easily find desired image content by using the hierarchy to look at tags, select a type of tag from the hierarchy, and thereafter view any content tagged with the selected tag type.

Abstract: A device is provided for simulating a human skin microclimate and for measuring conditions such as temperature and humidity in the simulated microclimate. The microclimate is formed, for example, with fluids, gases and/or heat in a chamber of the device or between a surface of the device and a material disposed about the surface. In one aspect, a sensor is placed in the chamber to sense the microclimate. Methods of using the device and measuring microclimate conditions are also provided.
