Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dual imaging module cameras. For example, methods may include: receiving a zoom control signal, receiving an input image that was captured using a first lens assembly of a dual imaging module, and determining, based on the zoom control signal, an intermediate lens distortion profile. The intermediate lens distortion profile has values that are between corresponding values of a first lens distortion profile for the first lens assembly and a second lens distortion profile for a second lens assembly of the dual imaging module. The method may include applying a warp based on the intermediate lens distortion profile to the input image to obtain an output image and transmitting, storing, or displaying an image based on the output image. For example, the systems and methods may eliminate or mitigate discontinuities in lens distortion at a switch-over between lens assemblies of a dual imaging module.

A highlight event moment of the highlight event may be identified based on the audio event moment and temporal type of the audio event. A highlight event extent of the highlight event may be identified based on the audio event extent and the spatial type of the audio event.

Abstract: Video information generated by an image sensor for a capture period and motion information of the image sensor during the capture period may be obtained. The video information may define images of a video based on light received within a field of view of an image sensor during the capture period. Relative positions of the image sensor between different moments within the capture period may be estimated based on the motion information. Depth information for a portion of an environment of the image sensor may be determined based on the video information generated at the different moments and the relative positions of the image sensor between the different moments, or based on stereo depth mapping. Translational motion correction may be applied to one or more of the images based on the depth information and the relative positions of the image sensor to warp the image(s) and stabilize the video.
