Abstract: Images may be captured by a moving image capture device. A reference image and a background image may be selected from the images. The reference image may include depiction of an object, with the object blocking view of the background. The background image may include depiction of the background blocked by the object in the reference image. An object layer may be generated by segmenting the depiction of the object from the reference image. A background layer may be generated by combining the depiction of the background in the background image with the reference image. The background layer may be blurred and combined with the object layer to generate a panning image.

Abstract: In a method, it is determined that a detachable lens is mounted on an image capture device in a first orientation. A first image of a controlled scene is captured with the detachable lens mounted in the first orientation. It is determined that the detachable lens is mounted on the image capture device in a second orientation that is rotated approximately 180 degrees from the first orientation. A second image of the controlled scene is captured with the detachable lens in the second orientation. A first image circle center of the first image is determined. A second image circle center of the second image is determined. An average image circle center is determined, based on the first image circle center and the second image circle center. The average image circle center is provided to an image stabilization algorithm when the detachable lens is mounted on the image capture device.

Abstract: Methods for parameter alignment processing are described herein. An image capture device includes a first image capture device configured to capture a first image, a second image capture device configured to capture a second image, and an image signal processor connected to the first image capture device and to the second image capture device. The image signal processor is configured to apply, to the first image and the second image, at least two of a respective luminance lens shading (LLS) compensation factor, a respective color lens shading (CLS) compensation factor, a respective exposure difference compensation factor, a respective white balance compensation factor, a respective lens exposure correction (LEC) compensation factor, and a respective flare compensation factor, blend the compensated first image and the compensated second image to form a blended image, and output an image based on the blended image.

Abstract: An image capture device may capture visual content depicting a hand gesture. The hand gesture may identify a subject to be targeted by the image capture device. The targeting of the image capture device (e.g., for stabilization, for focusing) may be changed to be directed at the subject identified by the hand gesture. The image capture device may persistently target the subject identified by the hand gesture for future capture of visual content.

Abstract: Visual content may be captured by an image capture device. The characteristics of the visual content may be determined based on assessment of separate visual content and without assessment of the visual content. The assessment of the separate visual content may include identification of thing(s) depicted within the separate visual content. The separate visual content may be temporally and/or spatially separate from the visual content.
