Abstract: Various driver assistance systems mountable in a host vehicle and computerized methods for detecting a vertical deviation of a road surface. The driver assistance system includes a camera operatively connectible to a processor. Multiple consecutive image frames are captured from the camera including a first image of the road and a second image of the road. Based on the host vehicle motion, the second image is warped toward the first image to produce thereby a warped second image. Image points of the road in the first image and corresponding image points of the road in the warped second image are tracked. Optical flow is computed between the warped second image to the first image. The optical flow is compared with an optical flow based on a road surface model to produce a residual optical flow. The vertical deviation is computed from the residual optical flow.

Abstract: The present disclosure allows for unique collection and housing of captured media, and further provides for a unique method of access for stored captured media. In some implementations, the system may use a device's native components, such as a microphone or camera, without using the native operating system. In some embodiments, captured media may be temporarily stored in a local cache until the device connects to a communication network, which may initiate transfer of the captured media to an external server. In some implementations, captured media may be accessible through a unique access mechanism, which may allow for immediate viewing of the captured media without requiring a separate download of the file.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating and/or presenting time-lapse videos and/or live-stream videos are provided. For example, a plurality of video frames may be extracted from a video. A first set of video frames and a second set of video frames may be identified from the plurality of video frames. The first set of video frames may be combined to generate a first time-lapse video frame and the second set of video frames may be combined to generate a second time-lapse video frame. A time-lapse video may be generated based upon the first time-lapse video frame and the second time-lapse video frame. In another example, a time-lapse video may be generated based upon a recorded video associated with a live-stream video. The time-lapse video may be presented. Responsive to a completion of the presenting the time-lapse video, the live-stream video may be presented.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to synchronization between multiple displays for audio and/or visual content. Video, movie, television, live broadcast, streaming or online content typically include visual content and corresponding audio content synchronized to the visual content, i.e., a particular audio frame is set to be play backed at the same time a particular video frame is displayed. The present disclosure provides for delaying the presentation of visual content with respect to one or more displays in order to synchronize the presentation of the visual content on the displays.

Abstract: A user interface for a media system supports using gestures, such as swiping gestures and taps, to navigate frame-synchronized video clips or video feeds. The detection of the gestures is interpreted as a command to navigate the frame-synchronized content. In one implementation, a tracking system and a trained machine learning system is used to generate the frame synchronized video clips or video feeds. In one implementation, video clips of an event are organized into storylines and the user interface permits navigation between different storylines and within individual storylines.

Abstract: A server system includes one or more processors, a clock, and memory. The memory stores one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. The server system receives a program manifest (e.g., a playlist) for a video from a content delivery network. The video includes a plurality of video segments. The server system parses the program manifest to identify a timeline for the video, then determines the current playback position for the video and a corresponding initial timestamp according to the clock. The server system periodically updates the current playback position for the video according to the clock and the initial timestamp. Over a span of time the server system receives requests from a plurality of client devices to view the video. For each request from a respective client device, the server system sends the current playback position to the respective client device.
