  • Publication number: 20140133548
    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising receiving at least one sample of a sensor data obtained from at least one sensor; obtaining an indicator of a video scene change on the basis of the at least one sample of the sensor data; and providing the indicator in order to change at least one parameter of a video encoding. There is also provided an apparatus comprising a processor, and memory including computer program code. The memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to receive at least one sample of a sensor data; obtain an indicator of a video scene change on the basis of the at least one sample of the sensor data; and provide the indicator in order to change at least one parameter of a video encoding.

  • Patent number: 8565581
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product select content segments based at least in part on a contextual similarity level between the content segments and at least one of brightness levels, blur levels, and shake levels of the content segments. As such, a resultant video may be produced that comprises selected content segments. Accordingly, brightness levels of the content may be improved and shake and blur levels reduced while maintaining a desired field of view.

  • Publication number: 20130100307
    Abstract: An apparatus for enabling retrieval of media content and identifying an interestingness of the media content may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including capturing items of media content including objects and assigning context data indicating a determined location of one of the captured objects and a time that the object was captured to the media content. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to assign a detected item of orientation information indicating an orientation of a media capturing device, capturing the objects, to the context data associated with the media content. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to enable retrieval of the media content from a memory based on analyzing the location of the captured object, the time and the orientation information. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130093899
    Abstract: Various methods are provided for analyzing media content. One example method may include extracting media content data and sensor data from a plurality of media content, wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of data modalities. The method may also include classifying the extracted media content data and the sensor data. The method may further include determining an event-type classification based on the classified extracted media content data and the sensor data.
