Abstract: The present technology is a graphical user interface for a video recording system and method of recording a video while applying special effects in real time prior to and/or while recording. The interface is associated with an electronic device including a processor in communication with a camera and a memory unit. Inputs from the interface are utilized by the processing unit to determine if the native speed rate of the raw video data is to be changed, and if so then modifies at least one frame in the raw video data to create a modified video data at a modified speed rate that is different to the native speed rate. The system then generates an output video feed that is displayed in the graphical user interface. This allows for the continuous recording of video from the camera or video feed at different speed rates without altering camera operations or settings.

Abstract: In a case where illuminance is high, an error between the number of photons per frame calculated from time information and the number of photons and the actually expected number of photons per frame is reduced. In a time counter that counts a clock from the start of exposure in one frame, one-count time in the clock is switched depending on the illuminance. In a case where a pixel counter is saturated within a period of one frame, the illuminance is determined to be high, and a high-illuminance clock in which one-count time is set more minutely in the first half of one frame is used to count. In a case where the illuminance is not determined to be high, a normal clock is used to count.

Abstract: A data processing system for aggregating, tagging and distributing unstructured data as structured data in real time and methods for manufacturing and using same. A camera for capturing photographic images is deployed at a selected event and, upon capturing an image of one or more event attendees, associates the image with native metadata. The native metadata includes attendee contact information for enabling the camera to send the image to the attendee in real time. The camera likewise sends the image and native metadata to a content processing system, which separates the raw image data from the native metadata and utilizes the native metadata to identify additional derived metadata for the image. By aggregating images from multiple events and tagging the images with the native and derived metadata, the data processing system advantageously can store the unstructured images in content wrappers as structured data for facilitating later distribution.
