  • Patent number: 11978238
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods of converting media dimensions. A device may identify a set of frames from a video in a first orientation as belonging to a scene. The device may receive a selected coordinate on a frame of the set of frames for the scene. The device may identify a first region within the frame including a first feature corresponding to the selected coordinate and a second region within the frame including a second feature. The device may generate a first score for the first feature and a second score for the second feature. The first score may be greater than the second score based on the first feature corresponding to the selected coordinate. The device may crop the frame to include the first region and the second region within a predetermined display area comprising a subset of regions of the frame in a second orientation.

  • Publication number: 20230419997
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and computer program products for performing automated non-linear editing style transfer. A computer-implemented method may include determining one or more shot boundaries in a video, analyzing identified content in each of one or more shots in the video based on performing object detection, determining an editing style for each of the one or more shots in the video based at least in part on measuring motion across frames within the respective shots, determining a content segment to adjust from a set of target content based on analyzing the set of target content in view of the identified content and the determined editing style of a shot from the video, and automatically adjusting the content segment from the set of target content based at least in part on modifying the content segment with the determined editing style of the shot from the video.

  • Publication number: 20230237760
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods of converting media dimensions. A device may identify a set of frames from a video in a first orientation as belonging to a scene. The device may receive a selected coordinate on a frame of the set of frames for the scene. The device may identify a first region within the frame including a first feature corresponding to the selected coordinate and a second region within the frame including a second feature. The device may generate a first score for the first feature and a second score for the second feature. The first score may be greater than the second score based on the first feature corresponding to the selected coordinate. The device may crop the frame to include the first region and the second region within a predetermined display area comprising a subset of regions of the frame in a second orientation.

  • Publication number: 20200020071
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cropping media for a particular orientation using a computing device are described. A method may first comprise receiving by a video preprocessor of the device, a first frame of media in a first orientation. A first region comprising a first feature within the first frame may be identified, by an image analyzer. A cropping calculator of the device may generate a score for the first region based on a characteristic of the first feature and determine that the score for the first region exceeds a threshold. An image processor of the device may then crop the first frame of the video, responsive to the determination that the score for the first region exceeds the threshold, to include the first region within a predetermined display area comprising a subset of the first frame in a second orientation.
