  • Patent number: 12647528
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for optimizing video review using motion recap images. A video review system can identify background image data of a video clip including an amount of motion satisfying a motion threshold. The video review system can generate foreground mask data segmenting foreground image data, representing a moving object in the video clip, from the background image data. The video review system can select a set of instances of the moving object represented in the foreground image data. The video review system can generate a motion recap image by superimposing the set of instances of the moving object represented in the foreground image data onto the background data.

  • Patent number: 12625906
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing a reply to a query related to a media asset. A query may be received from a user while the media asset is being played on a first device, and in response to determining that the query is related to the media asset, a snapshot of the media asset may be captured, where the snapshot comprises a depiction of a first object and a second object, and the snapshot may be generated for display at a second device. In response to determining there is ambiguity whether the query is related to the first or second object, a disambiguating query based on the first and second objects of the snapshot may be generated for simultaneous output with the snapshot. In response to receiving a reply to the disambiguating query, a response to the query may be generated for output based on the reply.

  • Patent number: 12604055
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a computing device is configured to modify an original video by applying a machine learning model. The computing device obtains multiple training data sets, with each particular training data set including an original video and a corresponding modified video. One or more frames from the original video are cropped to generate corresponding frames in the corresponding modified video. The computing device trains a machine learning model, using the training data sets, to generate modified videos from original videos such that one or more frames in the original videos are modified to generate corresponding frames in respective modified videos. Once the machine learning model is trained, the computing device obtains a target original video and applies the trained machine learning model to the target original video to generate a target modified video.
