Publication number: 20180204604Abstract: A system providing a user interface to annotate different items in a media production system such as in a digital non-linear post production system. Parts of the production, such as clips, frames and layers, that have an associated annotation are provided with a visual annotation marker. The annotation marker can use shape, color or animation to convey source, urgency, status or other information. Annotations can be text, freehand drawing, audio, or other. Annotations can be automatically generated. Annotations can be compiled into records, searched and transferred. A state of an application program can be stored and transferred to a remote system. The remote system attempts to recreate the original state of the application program. If the remote system is unable to do so, an image of the state of the application program is obtained, instead. Assignment of control to various functions of an application program is achieved by associating a function (i.e.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2018Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventors: Sukendeep Samra, Mark A. van den Bergen, Steven Hall, Jason Peterson, Stephen Dyson

The remote system attempts to recreate the original state of the application program. If the remote system is unable to do so, an image of the state of the application program is obtained, instead. Assignment of control to various functions of an application program is achieved by associating a function (i.e., modifying a parameter) with a user control at a remote location.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Sukendeep Samra, Mark A. van den Bergen, Steven Hall, Jason Peterson, Stephen Dyson

Publication number: 20050163345Abstract: Image data is processed to track moving foreground objects thereby identifying tracked objects, and the movement of said foreground objects is tracked. A timeline is displayed, along with an indication of said tracked objects with reference to said timeline.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: Safehouse International LimitedInventors: Mark van den Bergen, Michael Henson

Publication number: 20050163346Abstract: Output from a video camera is monitored. Input data is analysed to produce a model of a background image and incoming image data is compared with said background model to identify images having a high level of activity created by the introduction of a foreground object. A period of activity, composed of a plurality of consecutive images having a high level of activity, is identified, and an exemplar image is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: Safehouse International LimitedInventors: Mark van den Bergen, David Tymon, Michael Henson, Gijsbert de Haan, Martin Blais

Publication number: 20050163212Abstract: Graphical output representing the activity of a plurality of monitoring detection devices over a region is displayed. The detection devices are represented as an array of regular polygons in an arrangement substantially analogous to the monitored region, and a characteristic of the graphical output is adjusted within a displayed polygon by a degree dependent upon the level of activity detected by its respective detection device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: Safehouse International LimitedInventors: Michael Henson, Jamie Sherrah, Peter Quartermain, Mark van den Bergen

Patent number: 6873344Abstract: A system for processing images, or clips, as, for example, in a movie or video post production system. The clips are associated with a flowgraph representation that visually depicts all of the operations used to generate the clips. Correspondence between the image and flowgraph representations is tightly maintained so that the user can conveniently switch between, and work among, the different representations. Efficient user interface mechanisms are provided to work with flowgraph items to construct nodes representing operations. Nodes can be joined in an automated, or assisted, manner. Flowgraphs can be automatically generated according to user inputs in other parts of the system. For example, layered effects can have flowgraphs that are automatically generated. A freehand drawing timing capture tool is provided. All operations that contribute to a single (or more) pixel's value can be listed and selectively activated or deactivated to detect a problem.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2001Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Sukendeep Samra, Bruno Sargeant, Junichi Tsukamoto, Sidhartha Deb, Makoto Kawamura, Shingo Kawabe, Mark A. van den Bergen, Farhana Bandukwala
