  • Patent number: 11861944
    Abstract: Video output is generated based on first video data that depicts the user performing an activity. Poses of the user during performance of the activity are compared with second video data that depicts an instructor performing the activity. Corresponding poses of the user's body and the instructor's body may be determined through comparison of the first and second video data. The video data is used to determine the rate of motion of the user and to generate video output in which a visual representation of the instructor moves at a rate similar to the that of the user. For example, video output generated based on an instructional fitness video may be synchronized so that movement of the presented instructor matches the rate of movement of the user performing an exercise, improving user comprehension and performance.

  • Patent number: 11830525
    Abstract: Techniques for supplementing a video clip with additional information without modifying the original content included within the video clip are disclosed herein. A video clip comprising multiple video frames is generated. A layer, which is to be associated with the video clip, is also generated. This layer initializes and terminates during a duration of the video clip. An association is formed between the layer and the video clip. Layer content is added to the layer to cause the layer content to supplement content visualized by the video clip without modifying the content visualized by the video clip. In response to the video clip being played, the layer is initialized and the layer content is displayed.

  • Patent number: 11832022
    Abstract: In a multi-channel video mode, an electronic device may separately display a plurality of images from different cameras in a plurality of areas of a viewfinder frame. An image from one camera is displayed in one area, and a user operation such as a leftward sliding operation or a rightward sliding operation of a user in an area may be detected, to change framing presented by a corresponding camera in the area, without changing framing of another camera in a corresponding area. In this way, during multi-channel video recording, the user can separately adjust framing presented by each working camera in a preview frame, so that framing of each working camera in the preview frame does not affect each other, to avoid a problem that a change of framing of a working camera in the preview frame causes a change of framing of another working camera in the preview frame.

  • Patent number: 11818468
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for shear correction in spherical projections. Embedded devices generally lack the compute and/or memory resources to implement two-dimensional (2D) stitches for spherical projections. Objects (such as a mounting fixture) within a certain distance of the camera may experience a 2D “tear” or “shear” artifact when stitched. Various embodiments of the present disclosure perform two orthogonal 1D stitches: (i) latitudinally across the meridian and (ii) longitudinally along the meridian to approximate the effect of a 2D stitch. Notably, the 1D stitch may be less precise than a true 2D stitch, however the image portion being stitched (e.g., the camera mount) is not the user's subject of interest and can be rendered much more loosely without adverse consequence. Temporal smoothing optimizations are additionally disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11818507
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques that may be used to automatically correlate a portion of a media data to an event. Such techniques may comprise receiving, from one or more data sources, at least one media data associated with a first time and a first location. The techniques may further comprise receiving an indication of an event associated with a second time and a second location and determining whether a geographic proximity between the first location and the second location is within a threshold distance. Upon determining the geographic proximity is within the threshold distance, the techniques may further comprise determining a portion of the at least one media data for which a temporal proximity is within a threshold timeframe, and upon determining the temporal proximity is within the threshold timeframe, creating a correlation between the at least one media data and the event.
