Abstract: Techniques to improve a digital image capture device's ability to stabilize a video stream—while enforcing desired stabilization constraints on particular images in the video stream—are presented that utilize an overscan region and a look-ahead technique enabled by buffering a number of video input frames before generating a first stabilized video output frame. More particularly, techniques are disclosed for buffering an initial number of input frames so that a “current” frame can use motion data from both “past” and “future” frames to adjust the value of a stabilization strength parameter and/or the weighted contribution of particular frames from the buffer in the determination of stabilization motion values for the current frame. Such techniques keep the current frame within its overscan and ensure that the stabilization constraints are enforced, while maintaining desired smoothness in the video stream. In some embodiments, the stabilization constraint may comprise a maximum allowed frame displacement.

Abstract: Techniques to improve a digital image capture device's ability to stabilize a video stream are presented. According to some embodiments, improved stabilization of captured video frames is provided by intelligently harnessing the complementary effects of both optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS). In particular, OIS may be used to remove intra-frame motion blur that is typically lower in amplitude and dominates with longer integration times, while EIS may be used to remove residual unwanted frame-to-frame motion that is typically larger in amplitude. The techniques disclosed herein may also leverage information provided from the image capture device's OIS system to perform improved motion blur-aware video stabilization strength modulation, which permits better video stabilization performance in low light conditions, where integration times tend to be longer, thus leading to a greater amount of motion blurring in the output stabilized video.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to rapidly identify and track an arbitrary sized object through a temporal sequence of frames is described. The object being tracked may initially be identified via a specified or otherwise known region-of-interest (ROI). A portion of that ROI can be used to generate an initial or reference histogram and luminosity measure, metrics that may be used to identify the ROI in a subsequent frame. For a frame subsequent to the initial or reference frame, a series of putative ROIs (each having its own location and size) may be identified and the “best” of the identified ROIs selected. As used here, the term “best” simply means that the more similar two frames' histograms and luminosity measures are, the better one is with respect to the other.
