Abstract: Systems and methods to control operations of a camera based on one or more sensors attached to one or more actors. Sensor data collected from the sensors is analyzed to identify a state of an actor. The state of the actor is used to determine an operation parameter of the camera, such as the zoom level of the camera and/or the direction of the camera, and control the operation of the camera. For example, an actor who is in a state about to perform an interesting action can be selected from a plurality of actors; and the direction and the zoom level of the camera can be adjusted to focus on the selected actor in capture one or more subsequent images.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving image recognition by using information from sensor data. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving one or more sensor records, the sensor records representing timestamped sensor data collected by a sensor recording device; selecting an event based on the sensor records; identifying a time associated with the event; retrieving a plurality of timestamped video frames; synchronizing the sensor records and the video frames, wherein synchronizing the sensor records and the video frames comprises synchronizing the timestamped sensor data with individual frames of the timestamped video frames according to a common timeframe; and selecting a subset of video frames from the plurality of timestamped video frames based on the selected event.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure help automatically identify athletic maneuvers performed by actors and/or their sports equipment using data from sensors. Among other things, various embodiments help judges and spectators of extreme sports to assess athletic maneuvers based on objective, empirical data and allow action sport participants to objectively compare tricks performed at different times and/or different locations. A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises receiving, by a computer system, sensor data related to motion by an actor over a time period; determining, by the computer system and based on the sensor data, a plurality of motion characteristics; and identifying, based on the plurality of motion characteristics, an athletic maneuver associated with the motion by the actor during the time period.

Abstract: Systems and methods to calibrate a gyroscope based on a motion of a predetermined characteristic. Data representing gyro sensor signals during a period of time is stored. A portion of the time period is identified, during which portion the gyroscope is subjected to a motion of the predetermined characteristic. Using the stored data the gyro signals are integrated with respect to time to calculate orientation of the gyroscope as a function of time. Deviation of a characteristic of the orientation of the gyroscope as the function of time during the portion of time period for the motion of the predetermined characteristic is determined to identify a component of bias in the gyro signals. The bias component is removed from the data to re-calculate the gyroscope orientation, and possible to further calculate the deviation in the re-calculated orientation and to identify a further bias component in the gyro signals.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure help identify athletic maneuvers performed by actors and/or their sports equipment using data from sensors, including data from at least one gyroscopic sensor. Among other things, various embodiments can help judges and spectators of extreme sports to identify and assess athletic maneuvers more easily and accurately compared to conventional methods.
