  • Publication number: 20240046962
    Abstract: Video information may define spherical video content having a duration. Spherical video content may define visual content viewable from a point of view as a function of progress through the spherical video content. Path information may define a path selection for the spherical video content. Path selection may include movement of a viewing window within the spherical video content. The viewing window may define extents of the visual content viewable from the point of view as the function of progress through the spherical video content. Time lapse parameter information may define at least two of a time portion of the duration, an image sampling rate, and a time lapse speed effect. A time lapse video may be generated based on the video information, the path information, and the time lapse parameter information.

  • Patent number: 11778330
    Abstract: An image capture device may switch operation between a spherical capture mode or a non-spherical capture mode. Operation of the image capture device in the spherical capture mode includes generation of spherical visual content based on the visual content generated by multiple image sensors. Operation of the image capture device in the non-spherical capture mode includes generation of non-spherical visual content based on visual content generated by a single image sensor.

  • Publication number: 20220377303
    Abstract: Multiple punchouts of a video may be presented based on multiple viewing windows. The video may include visual content having a field of view. Multiple viewing windows may be determined for the video, with individual viewing window defining a set of extents of the visual content. Different punchouts of the visual content may be presented based on the different viewing windows. Individual punchout of the visual content may include the set of extents of the visual content defined by corresponding viewing window.

  • Patent number: 11509821
    Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for temporal information synchronization of imaging devices are disclosed. The method comprises capturing media using an imaging device, generating a sequence identifier for each of the media, generating a timestamp for each of the media, determining that at least one of the media includes an unknown time tag, receiving an input including temporal information, determining a time offset between each timestamp and the temporal information, and updating the timestamp for each of the media that includes an unknown time tag using the time offset to provide an updated timestamp.
