Abstract: Production of a financial market trading data video streams in a plurality of languages by receiving a financial market analysis result having an analysis type. Producing a sentence text-string corresponding to each of several languages by inserting characteristic information values from the financial market analysis result into a sentence template and translations of the sentence-template. The each said text string is converted into an audio segment and an image segment such that the audio segment and corresponding image segment have equal duration. A video segment is created by combining said audio segment and image segment. For each language of said plurality of languages, the video segments are stitched together thereby producing a financial market trading data video stream for said financial market analysis result.

Abstract: An effects application receives a video of a face and detects a bounding box for each frame indicating the location and size of the face in each frame. In one or more reference frames. The application uses an algorithm to determine locations of facial features in the frame. The application then normalizes the feature locations relative to the bounding box and saves the normalized feature locations. In other frames (e.g., target frames), the application obtains the bounding box and then predicts the locations of the facial features based on the size and location of the bounding box and the normalized feature locations calculated in the reference frame. The predicted locations can be made available to an augmented reality function that overlays graphics in a video stream based on face tracking in order to apply a desired effect to the video.

Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices are disclosed for capturing and delivering real-time racing videos when a race car travels around a racetrack. The disclosed systems and techniques are designed to capture racing video signals both from the vantage point of the race car itself and using a set of cameras installed around the racetrack. The captured racing videos and racing metadata can be uploaded or streamed live to a server as the race car travels around a racetrack by connecting the race car to a nearby or the closest Wi-Fi hotspot to the race car within a set of Wi-Fi hotspot placed around the racetrack. The uploaded multiple channels of racing video signals can be combined with racing metadata collected from the race car to generate “meta-video” packages which can be automatically delivered in multiple formats.

A moment of interest may correspond to a point in time within a video clip. The point in time may be associated with one or more values of one or more attributes of the video clip. Individual moments of interest may be associated with individual portions of a video. The video may be generated using the set of video clips based on the associations.

Abstract: Labor of photographing images of an object can be reduced in a case where the images of the object viewed from a viewpoint moving along with an orbit are displayed. Image obtaining means of a display control system obtains a plurality of image data pieces generated by photographing an object from a plurality of photographing positions that are different from one another in photographing directions. Information obtaining means obtains photograph information relating to the photographing positions of the respective image data pieces in a three-dimensional space based on the image data pieces. Image selecting means selects some of the image data pieces based on the photograph information of the respective image data pieces and orbit information relating to an orbit of a viewpoint that moves while changing a viewing direction in the three-dimensional space. Display control means displays, on display means, the image data pieces selected by the image selecting means in an order according to the orbit.

Abstract: A media player may receive an instruction to advance the media file content a higher than normal speed. At least a portion of the associated metadata may be accessed to retrieve a location of a group of words determined to be the most important in a portion of the media file content being advanced at the higher than normal speed. Audio content of the group of the most important words may be played at a normal speed while advancing the media file at a higher than normal speed.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for advanced video editing techniques using sampling patterns. In one example, a computing device can receive a selection of a clip of a video and a sampling pattern. The computing device can determine a respective number of frames to sample from the clip for each interval of time over a length of time for a new clip. For example, the computing device can determine a function corresponding the pattern that relates time and the number of frames to sample, a histogram corresponding to the pattern, or a definite integral corresponding to the pattern, among other approaches. The computing device can extract these numbers of frames from the clip and generate the new clip from the extracted frames. The computing device can present the new clip as a preview and send the new clip to other computing devices.
