Abstract: Spherical visual content represented in an image space may be obtained. The spherical visual content may have been captured by image sensor(s) during a time duration. The spherical visual content may include phenomena caused by motion of the image sensor(s) and/or optical components that guide light onto the image sensor(s). A capture path taken by the image sensor(s) during the time duration may be determined. The capture path may reflect positions and orientations of the image sensor(s) during the time duration. A smoothed path may be determined based on the capture path. The smoothed path may have smoother changes in positions and/or orientations than the capture path. The image space may be warped based on a difference between the capture path and the smoothed path. The stabilized visual content may be determined by projecting the spherical visual content represented in the warped image space to a spherical projection space.

Abstract: Multiple video segments, including multiple frames, may be obtained. The video segments may be time synchronized for at least portions of the video segments captured during a synchronized time period. A first key frame moment may be set with the synchronized time period. A first set of construction parameter values may be determined for the frames captured during the first key frame moment. A first set of spherical images may be constructed using the first set of construction parameter values. A change may be detected in the construction parameter values at a moment in time subsequent to the first key frame moment, which may be identified as a second key frame moment. A second set of construction parameter values may be determined for the frames captured during the second key frame moment. The second set of spherical images may be constructed using the second set of construction parameter values.

The spatial selections of the video content may include viewing directions of the video content selected by the user as the function of progress through the video content. Related video content may be identified based on the spatial selections of the video content. Related video content may be offered to the user.

Abstract: Interaction information may be received. The interaction information may indicate users' spatial selections of the video content as a function of progress through the video content. The video content may have a progress length. The spatial selections of the video content may include viewing directions of the video content selected by the users as the function of progress through the video content. Aggregate spatial selections of the video content may be determined at individual points in the progress length. Aggregate spatial selections may include an aggregation of the viewing directions selected by the users at the individual points. Directions of view for the video content may be determined based on the aggregate spatial selections of the video content. The socially built view of video content may be generated based on the directions of view for the video content.

Abstract: A set of light field sensors may generate light field output signals conveying light field information within fields of view of the set of light field sensors. The generation of the light field outputs signals may be characterized by a subpixel accuracy. The subpixel accuracy may be enabled by a physical link between the set of light field sensors. The fields of view of the set of light field sensors may overlap over an overlap volume. An object may be located within the overlap volume. The light field information characterizing light field emanating from the object may be combined.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for generating an output video stream from a wide field video stream. The wide field video stream may be created from compiling a plurality of video stream capturing different viewpoints of the same environment simultaneously. Upon selecting a wide field video stream, a first geometric function may be utilized to generate individual intermediate points that correspond to locations in a wide field video stream to be displayed on a particular display space. A second geometric function may be further utilized to generate reference points so that a the pixel on the output video stream are determined from the intermediate points of the wide field video stream of the first geometric function. Upon the execution of the first and second geometric function, an output video stream is generated for display on the determined display space.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for stitching a plurality of video streams to generate a wide field video stream. The wide field video stream may be created by obtaining multiple video streams that correspond to a common period in time at which portion of the multiple video streams were captured. A reference instant the pertains to a common period of time order may be determined to help stitch the images corresponding to the video streams in chronological order. A reference value is then calculated for a construction parameter of one or more images from the multiple video streams captured at times that correspond to the determined reference instant. A panoramic image is then constructed by stitching together the images that correspond to the determined reference instant, thus further generating a wide field video stream.

Abstract: Video streams may be stitched together to form a single wide field video stream. The wide field video stream may exhibit a view with a field angle that may be larger than a field angled of an individual video stream. The wide field video stream may exhibit, for example, panoramic views. A method of stitching together video stream may comprise one or more of determining at least one reference time instance within a reference video stream; determining a first set of values of parameters used to generate a first panoramic image that comprises a combination of images that correspond to the at least one reference time instance; generating panoramic images that comprise images of individual video streams based on the first set of values of the parameters; and/or other operations.
