Neil Aylon Charles Birkbeck has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System and method for automatic detection of spherical video content
    Patent number: 10268893
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for identifying the video content as spherical video or non-spherical video in response to determining that frame scores and video scores satisfy a threshold level. For example, a plurality of image frames can be extracted from video content, classified in a dual stage process, and scored according to particular classification and scoring mechanisms.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and method for temporal synchronization of multiple signals
    Patent number: 10108254
    Abstract: A method and system include identifying a plurality of media clips pertaining to an event, for each pair of the plurality of media clips, calculating pairwise relative time offsets for pairs of media clips from the plurality of media clips, calculating, by a processing device, an inconsistency measure, in which the inconsistency measure of a pair of media clips is calculated using at least three relative time offsets and one of the at least three relative time offsets is a relative time offset of the pair of media clips, and synchronizing the plurality of media clips based on resulting calculated inconsistency measures.

  • Spherical video stabilization based on accelerometer data
    Patent number: 10084962
    Abstract: A method includes identifying a frame of a spherical video as a key frame, storing a compensation component based on position data of a camera in association with the key frame, and compensating for a movement of the camera in a subsequent frame of the spherical video based on the key frame and the compensation component associated with the key frame.
