  • Patent number: 12141950
    Abstract: Image captured through a non-rectilinear lens may exhibit distortions. The distortions may be reduced by warping the image. However, warping the image may degrade the fidelity of the image. The warped image may be enhanced to increase the fidelity of the image. The enhancement may be applied to the portions of the image that were degraded from the warping.

  • Patent number: 12140853
    Abstract: A camera system with six faces and a front housing is configured to capture images and audio content from external the camera body. The camera system includes an interior audio assembly protected from external environments by a waterproof membrane. The camera system includes drainage ports on the bottom face and the left face of the camera system to encourage moisture to drain from the system. A first drainage channel couples the internal audio assembly to the first drainage port on left face of the camera system and a second drainage channel couples the drainage port on the left face of the camera system to the drainage port on the bottom face of the camera system. A third drainage channel exists between the front face of the camera system and the front housing, the third drainage channel coupling the first and second drainage channels.

  • Publication number: 20240373076
    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.

  • Patent number: 12136182
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for motion transfer between different media. Two videos shot simultaneously are combined with aspects of each used to produce a higher-resolution frame interpolated video than would otherwise be possible by the devices alone. The interpolated video may be used in slow motion footage, a higher frame rate (e.g., virtual reality) application, or to add a realistic motion blur effect in post-processing (rather than in capture). A post-processing device may receive high-speed video from a high-speed camera and a low-speed video from a low-speed camera. The post-processing device may use motion data from the high-speed video to interpolate frames of (high-resolution) low-speed video producing low-speed interpolated video.

  • Patent number: 12137095
    Abstract: A limited input device, such as a camera, is authenticated based on a request received from an authenticated application. The camera provides an authorization code to the authenticated application and receives an access token. The access token is associated with a user account. The access token is received based on a verification of the authorization code. The camera transmits one or more images associated with the user account to the first device based on the verification.

  • Publication number: 20240362745
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for blending unknown pixels in overlapping images. In one embodiment, an action camera captures two hyper-hemispherical fisheye images that are stitched to a 360° panorama. In order to remove exposure differences between the two cameras, the images are pre-processed prior to multiband blending. The pre-processing leverages image information from pixels to make informed guesses about pixels that were not captured. In particular, various pixels with different knowability (e.g., known, unknown, consistent, and conflicting) may be handled differently so as to emphasize/de-emphasize their importance in pre-processing.

  • Patent number: 12122515
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle. Boundaries of a user-defined space may be obtained. The boundaries of the user-defined space may be fixed with respect to some reference frame. A user-defined operation associated with the user-selected space may be obtained. Position of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be tracked during an unmanned aerial flight. Responsive to the unmanned aerial vehicle entering the user-defined space, the unmanned aerial vehicle may be automatically controlled to perform the user-defined operation.

  • Patent number: 12126785
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for circular stitching of images. For example, methods may include accessing a first image captured using a first image sensor; accessing a second image captured using a second image sensor; determining a cost table for a circular stitching boundary that includes overlapping regions of the first image and the second image; determining an extended disparity profile based on a periodic extension of the cost table and a smoothness criterion, wherein the extended disparity profile has a length greater than the width of the cost table; determining a binocular disparity profile of a length equal to the width of the cost table based on a contiguous subsequence of the extended disparity profile; and stitching the first image and the second image using the binocular disparity profile to obtain a combined image.

  • Patent number: 12125165
    Abstract: In a video capture system, a virtual lens is simulated when applying a crop or zoom effect to an input video. An input video frame is received from the input video that has a first field of view and an input lens distortion. A selection of a sub-frame representing a portion of the input video frame is obtained that has a second field of view smaller than the first field of view. The sub-frame is processed to remap the input lens distortion to a desired lens distortion in the sub-frame. The processed sub-frame is output.

  • Patent number: 12126809
    Abstract: Encoded content is accessed. The encoded content includes an encoded first centrally located tile corresponding to a first centrally located tile of a first image, an encoded first peripherally located tile of the first image, and an encoded second peripherally located tile of a second image. The encoded first peripherally located tile is decoded to obtain a decoded first peripherally located tile. The encoded second peripherally located tile is decoded to obtain a decoded second peripherally located tile. The decoded first peripherally located tile and the decoded second peripherally located tile are stitched to obtain a stitched image portion. The stitched image portion is encoded to obtain an encoded stitched image portion. An encoded stitched image of the first image and the second image is obtained by combining the encoded first centrally located tile, and the encoded stitched image portion.
