Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include accessing an audio track that is associated with a video recording, identifying a section of the accessed audio track having a specific audio characteristic, reducing a volume level of the audio track in the identified section, accessing an audio segment that includes a synthesized voice and inserting the accessed audio segment into the identified section of the audio track, where the inserted segment has a higher volume level than the reduced volume level of the audio track in the identified section. The synthesized voice description can be used to provide additional information to a visually impaired viewer without interrupting the audio track that is associated with the video recording, typically by inserting the synthesized voice description into a segment of the audio track in which there is no dialog. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of generating audio-visual content from video game footage is provided. The method comprises obtaining a user-selected audio track and obtaining video game footage. Statistical analysis is performed on the audio track so as to determine an excitement level associated with respective portions of the audio track. Statistical analysis is performed on the video game footage so as to determine an excitement level associated with respective portions of the video game footage. Portions of the video game footage are matched with portions of the audio track, based on a correspondence in determined excitement level. Based on said matching, a combined audio-visual content comprising the portions of the video game footage matched to corresponding portions of the audio track is generated. In this way, calm and exciting moments within the video footage are matched to corresponding moments in the audio track. A corresponding system is also provided.

Abstract: An automated solution to determine suitable time ranges or timestamps for captions is described. In one example, a content file includes subtitle data with captions for display over respective timeframes of video. Audio data is extracted from the video, and the audio data is compared against a sound threshold to identify auditory timeframes in which sound is above the threshold. The subtitle data is also parsed to identify subtitle-free timeframes in the video. A series of candidate time ranges is then identified based on overlapping ranges of the auditory timeframes and the subtitle-free timeframes. In some cases, one or more of the candidate time ranges can be merged together or omitted, and a final series of time ranges or timestamps for captions is obtained. The time ranges or timestamps can be used to add additional non-verbal and contextual captions and indicators, for example, or for other purposes.

Abstract: Systems and processes associated with an augmented film crew.

Abstract: A software system of some embodiments allows automatic logging, organization, transcription, and/or subtitling/captioning of audio/video content. User selected audio/video content is automatically transcribed. Instances and recurrences of events are automatically identified within transcripts and their corresponding clips. Recurrences of events can be automatically identified based on user identification of instances. Identifications within transcripts/clips can be automatically demarcated and logically or systematically arranged, categorized, classified, labelled, marked, grouped, and/or organized into audio/video sequences by the software system. Categorization, classification, labelling, and/or marking can be applied from transcript data, file names, order of identification occurrence, custom text, and/or analysis of audio and/or video content using AI. Transcripts can be displayed in arrangement and/or amalgamation to match the arrangement of their corresponding clips in an audio/video sequence.

Abstract: Method and system for determining frame rate of multimedia content streaming on a client device are presented herein. The method includes selecting a region within a screen of a computing display device displaying a video stream. One or more image frames of the video stream in the region are recorded. Changes in the color composition between the recorded image frames are detected. Based on the changes in the color composition, the frame rate of the video stream is determined.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method and apparatus for generating a panoramic image. A cuboid three-dimensional image of each local space is determined according to an original two-dimensional image of each local space in the overall space and a preset cuboid model corresponding to each local space, and then a three-dimensional panoramic image of the overall space is generated according to all determined cuboid three-dimensional images. Since the three-dimensional panoramic image of the overall space is generated according to the cuboid three-dimensional images of all local spaces, the overall space may be visually viewed at a three-dimensional angle of view to achieve the three-dimensional real-scene effect.
