Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to creation of an output hyper-lapse video from an input video. Values indicative of overlaps between pairs of frames in the input video are computed. A value indicative of an overlap between a pair of frames can be computed based on a sparse set of points from each of the frames in the pair. Moreover, a subset of the frames from the input video are selected based on the values of the overlaps between the pairs of the frames in the input video and a target frame speed-up rate. Further, the output hyper-lapse video is generated based on the subset of the frames. The output hyper-lapse video can be generated without a remainder of the frames of the input video other than the subset of the frames.

Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to juxtaposing still and dynamic imagery to create a cliplet. A first subset of a spatiotemporal volume of pixels in an input video can be set as a static input segment, and the static input segment can be mapped to a background of the cliplet. Further, a second subset of the spatiotemporal volume of pixels in the input video can be set as a dynamic input segment based on a selection of a spatial region, a start time, and an end time within the input video. Moreover, the dynamic input segment can be refined spatially and/or temporally and mapped to an output segment of the cliplet within at least a portion of output frames of the cliplet based on a predefined temporal mapping function, and the output segment can be composited over the background for the output frames of the cliplet.

Abstract: A system for generating soft copy (digital) versions of hard copy documents uses images of the hard copy documents. The images may be captured using a device suitable for capturing images, like a camera phone. Once available, the images may be processed to improve their suitability for document generation. The images may then be processed to recognize and generate soft copy versions of the documents represented by the images.
