Abstract: Methods and apparatus for post-processing in-camera stabilized video. Embodiments of the present disclosure reconstruct and re-stabilize an in-camera stabilized video to provide for improved stabilization (e.g., a wider crop, etc.). In-camera sensor data may be stored and used to re-calculate orientation metadata in post-production. In-camera stabilization provides several benefits (e.g., the ability to share stabilized videos from the camera without additional post-processing as well as reduced file sizes of the shared videos). Camera-aware post-processing can reuse portions of the in-camera stabilized videos while providing additional benefits (e.g., the ability to regenerate the original captured videos in post-production and re-stabilize the videos). Camera-aware post-processing can also improve orientation metadata and remove sensor error. The disclosed techniques also enable assisted optical flow-based stabilization using the refined metadata.

Abstract: A video may be captured by an image capture device in motion. A horizon-leveled view of the video may be generated by providing a punchout of the video. The punchout of the video may compensate for rotation of the image capture device during capture of the video. The placement of the punchout of the video may be changed based on different rotational positions of to provide a view in which a horizon depicted within the video is leveled.

Abstract: Multiple framings of a video may define different positionings of a viewing window at different moments within the video. The positionings of the viewing window defined by the multiple framings may be used as fixed positionings of the viewing window in a viewing path. The viewing path may define changes in the positioning of the viewing window between the fixed positionings. A presentation of the video may be generated to include the extents of the video within the viewing window.

Abstract: A video may include visual content having a progress length. A user may interact with a mobile device to set framings of the visual content at moments within the progress length. The framings of the visual content may be provided to a video editing application. The video editing application may utilize the framings set via the mobile device to provide preliminary framings of the visual content at the moments within the progress length.

Abstract: A viewing direction may define an angle/visual portion of a spherical video at which a viewing window is directed. A trajectory of viewing direction may include changes in viewing directions for playback of spherical video. Abrupt changes in the viewing directions may result in jerky or shaky views of the spherical video. Changes in the viewing directions may be stabilized to provide stabilized views of the spherical video. Amount of stabilization may be limited by a margin constraint.

Abstract: Framings of a video determines which spatial extents of the video are presented during playback of the video. A viewing path for the video is generated based on the framings of the video, and the number of framings for the video is reduced based on the viewing path for the video. The reduced number of framings for the video is provided for use in generating a presentation of the video.

Abstract: Media item(s) stored on an image capture device are identified for sharing. The image capture device runs a web server that hosts the media item(s) and runs a media access webpage for other computing device(s) to access the hosted media item(s). The image capture device creates a communication network having a network name and a network password, generates machine-readable optical code(s) that convey the network name and the network password of the communication network, and presents the machine-readable optical code(s) on an electronic display. A computing device that captures an image including the machine-readable optical code(s) connects to the communication network using the network name and the network password of the communication network conveyed by the machine-readable optical code(s). The media access webpage is provided to the computing device connected to the communication network, which enables a user of the computing device to access the hosted media item(s).

Abstract: Multiple sets of framing for a video may define different positioning of multiple viewing windows for a video. The multiple viewing windows may be used to provide different punchouts of the video within a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may enable creation/change in the sets of framing for the video. The graphical user interface for the punchouts may include a single timeline representation for the video. Framing indicators that represent different sets of framing for the video may be presented along the single timeline representation at different times.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for stabilizing image data based on a lens polynomial. Non-rectilinear footage can be captured and rectified in-camera; the rectified images may be stabilized to provide rectified stable video. In one exemplary embodiment, the footage is rectified and stabilized based on a lens polynomial and the camera's own movement. In some variants, the rectified stable video may be stored along with its margin track. In-camera rectified stable video provides several benefits over traditional techniques (e.g., the ability to share rectilinear content from the camera without additional post-processing, as well as reduced file sizes of the shared videos). Lens-aware post-processing can reuse portions of the in-camera rectified stable videos while providing additional benefits (e.g., the ability to re-frame the video in post-production).

Abstract: Framings of a video determines which spatial extents of the video are presented during playback of the video. A viewing path for the video is generated based on the framings of the video, and the number of framings for the video is reduced based on the viewing path for the video. The reduced number of framings for the video is provided for use in generating a presentation of the video.

Abstract: A video having a wide field of view (e.g., spherical field of view) may be presented within a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include multiple punchouts of the wide field of view, with the number of punchouts set based on user interaction with a punchout-number element of the graphical user interface. Individual punchouts may be used as output of a virtual camera to provide views of differential spatial parts of the video. Presentation of different spatial parts of the video within different punchouts may be automatically synchronized based on the different spatial parts originating from a single video.

Abstract: Positions of an image capture device during capture of a video may be transferred to a computing device before the video is transferred to the computing device. The positions of the image capture device may be used to determine a viewing window for the video before the video is obtained. The viewing window may be used to present a stabilized view of the video when the video is obtained. For example, a stabilized view of the video may be presented as the video is streamed to the computing device.
