  • Patent number: 9672632
    Abstract: A device, system, and method performs a camera driven background subtraction. The method being performed at an electronic device includes receiving information corresponding to an image-capturing device that is capturing an image. The method includes automatically selecting one of a plurality of image analysis mechanisms based upon the information. The method includes receiving the captured image captured by the image-capturing device. The method includes performing an image analysis using the selected image analysis mechanism on the captured image to determine a foreground and a background in the captured image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8811801
    Abstract: A number of adjacent regions in input video and a corresponding number of adjacent regions in output video are defined. The adjacent regions are defined so that they span the path of motion of a subject as it moves across a scene in the input and output video. For each region, a plurality of sequential region frames defining video within the region are captured. For each region, playback of the captured plurality of sequential region frames is provided in a substantially continuous loop. The playback of the captured plurality of sequential frames defining video within each region is positioned in the output video adjacent the playback of the captured plurality of sequential frames defining video within an adjacent region in the output video so that the combined effect of the adjacent regions of played-back video is to provide output video that spans the scene.
