Patent number: 11319086Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to aligning a taxi-assist camera such that each image frame of real-time video that the camera generates has a standard presentation format. The taxi-assist camera is configured to be mounted on an aircraft and oriented such that each image frame includes both a specific feature of the aircraft and of nearby objects external to the aircraft. The specific feature of the aircraft is detected and a location within the image frame of the specific feature is determined. The determined location within the image frame is compared with a reference location. A transformation operator is generated to transform the image frame such that the specific feature of the aircraft will be located within the image at a location corresponding to the reference location. The transformation operator is then applied to each of the image frames of the real-time video that the camera generates.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: ROSEMOUNT AEROSPACE INC.Inventors: Travis W.

Patent number: 11257521Abstract: Video content may be captured by an image capture device during a capture duration. The video content may include video frames that define visual content viewable as a function of progress through a progress length of the video content. Rotational position information may characterize rotational positions of the image capture device during the capture duration. Time-lapse video frames may be determined from the video frames of the video content based on a spatiotemporal metric. The spatiotemporal metric may characterize spatial smoothness and temporal regularity of the time-lapse video frames. The spatial smoothness may be determined based on the rotational positions of the image capture device corresponding to the time-lapse video frames, and the temporal regularity may be determined based on moments corresponding to the time-lapse video frames. Time-lapse video content may be generated based on the time-lapse video frames.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Derbanne, César Douady, Maxim Karpushin

Patent number: 11256257Abstract: A method of camera control for a camera capturing images of a target includes a sequence of at least four steps. The first step determines in real time a location of a drone and a pose of a camera on the drone. The second step, which may occur before or after the first step, determines in real time a location of a reference object, the location of the reference object having a fixed relationship to a location of the target. The third step uses the determined locations to calculate a distance, characterized by magnitude and direction, between the target and the drone. The fourth step uses the calculated distance to control the pose of the camera such that an image captured by the camera includes the target. Controlling the pose of the camera does not require any analysis of the captured image.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Sony Group CorporationInventors: Alexander Berestov, Cheng-Yi Liu, Jianfei Chen
