Abstract: A video may be captured by an image capture device in motion. A horizon-leveled view of the video may be generated by providing a punchout of the video. The punchout of the video may compensate for rotation of the image capture device during capture of the video. The placement of the punchout of the video may be changed based on different rotational positions of to provide a view in which a horizon depicted within the video is leveled.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for selectively parsing a live stream for a connected device. GoPro® cameras capture 2 video streams for every recording: a main resolution video (MRV) and a frame aligned low-resolution video (LRV). Currently, the LRV is streamed to other devices for playback in real-time. Unfortunately, not all devices in the mobile ecosystem can keep up with these transfer and playback speeds of the LRV; thus, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure pick frames from the LRV to provide an IDR-only version that can be replayed with minimal processing burden. As a related issue, operating codecs in parallel at different resolutions can result in misaligned frame structures since each codec independently determines its “group of pictures” (GOP), etc. The described techniques define a frame correspondence that can also be used to improve post-processing at best effort.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include receiving an image from an image sensor, detecting, in a linear domain, color fringing areas in the image, correcting detected color fringing areas to obtain a corrected image, performing tone mapping to the corrected image to obtain a tone mapped image and storing, displaying, or transmitting an output image based on at least the tone mapped image.

Abstract: An image capture device may capture content (e.g., visual content, audio content). After the content has been captured, a user may interact with the image capture device to mark the captured content. The content previously captured by the image capture device may be marked (e.g., highlighted, favorited, ranked) without requiring the user to review (e.g., view, listen to) the captured content.

Abstract: A computer accesses a feed of image frames from a camera. The computer determines, based on at least a first image frame from the feed, electronic image stabilization (EIS) data, and internal motion unit (IMU) data, a future image height. The computer enables or disables, for at least a second image frame from the feed, image lines on a sensor of the camera to obtain the determined future image height.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for stabilization and blending of exposures. So-called Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) techniques use image manipulation software to compensate for camera motion. Unfortunately, existing EIS techniques cannot compensate for artifacts introduced by low shutter speed (e.g., blurs). Various embodiments of the present disclosure generate stabilized images from multiple exposures. In one exemplary embodiment, the stabilized exposures are blended using a linear sum of the color data for each pixel of the image. By stabilizing each exposure and linearly summing the light information, the camera shake can be removed, and the scene motion blur can be controlled. The stabilization and blending techniques enable a mathematical emulation of a selected shutter angle from many high-speed exposures.

Abstract: Positions of an image capture device may be used to estimate a time-lapse video frame rate with which time-lapse video frames are generated. The time-lapse video frame rate may be adjusted based on apparent motion between pairs of generated time-lapse video frames. The adjusted time-lapse video frame rate may be used to generate additional time-lapse video frames.

Abstract: An image capture device includes a first housing, a second housing, a first integrated sensor-lens assembly (ISLA), and a second ISLA. The second housing is coupled to the first housing to form an internal compartment. The first ISLA includes a first image sensor coupled to a first lens in fixed alignment. The second ISLA includes a second image sensor coupled to a second lens in fixed alignment. The first ISLA is positively statically connected to the first housing, and the second ISLA is coupled to the first housing indirectly via the first ISLA.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus with a first image sensor and lens assembly (first ISLA), a second image sensor and lens assembly (second ISLA); a connector module, and a front connector. The connector module connects the first ISLA and the second ISLA are in a back-to-back configuration. The front connector is connected to the connector module via fasteners that extend into the front connector and the connector module in a direction from the first ISLA towards the second ISLA so that the first ISLA and the second ISLA are connected within the image capture device.

Abstract: A video edit may include one or more segment of a video. A graphical user interface may convey information that indicates video editing decisions made to generate the video edit. The graphical user interface may include a timeline element to represent the length of the video and one or more inclusion elements to visually indicate the segment(s) of the video included in the video edit. The graphical user interface may convey information on the segment(s) of the video that have been automatically included in the video edit and the segment(s) of the video that have been manually included in the video edit.

Abstract: Positions of an image capture device during capture of a video may be transferred to a computing device before the video is transferred to the computing device. The positions of the image capture device may be used to determine a viewing window for the video before the video is obtained. The viewing window may be used to present a stabilized view of the video when the video is obtained. For example, a stabilized view of the video may be presented as the video is streamed to the computing device.

Abstract: An object may be tracked through a video using the sizes of objects depicted in the video. The size of an object to be tracked (tracking object) may be determined using the depiction of the tracking object in a video frame. In a subsequent video frame, an object that has (1) a size that is closest to the tracking size, and (2) a size that differs from the tracking size by less than a threshold amount may be identified to be the tracking object. The tracking size may be updated with the size of the object identified to be the tracking object for use in the next video frame. This enables objects to be tracked simply and quickly by using the sizes of objects. The video frames may be framed for presentation using the positions of the tracking object in the video frames.

Abstract: A coupler (mount) is disclosed that is configured to releasably connect an image capture device and an accessory. The coupler includes a shaft and a lever that is operatively connected to the shaft, and is repositionable between unlocked and locked positions as well as between disengaged and engaged positions. When the coupler is in the unlocked positioned, the image capture device and the accessory are movable in relation to each other, and when the coupler is in the locked positioned, the image capture device and the accessory are fixed in relation to each other. When the coupler is in the disengaged position, the shaft is removable from the image capture device and the accessory, and when the coupler is in the engaged position, the shaft is non-removable from the image capture device and the accessory.

One or both of the first and second heatsinks positioned on an external surface of the housing.

Abstract: A lens adapter is attached to an image capture device to lower the profile of the image capture device when mounted to a mounting device. The lens adapter includes a lens that refracts light incident from an outer lens of the lens adapter into collimated light. The lens adapter includes an optical device that alters the direction of the collimated light and directs the collimated light to an image capture device lens assembly.
