  • Patent number: 11196943
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for editing captured media to overcome operational difficulties that may arise during capture operations. According to these techniques, content may be captured with a pair of cameras, a first camera having a wider field of view than a second camera. Object(s) may be detected from captured content from the wider field of view camera. The captured content may be processed from the wider field of view camera in a location of at least one detected object. Typically, operators may attempt to frame content using content from the narrower field of view camera. As a result, operators may be unaware that desired content is captured using a second, wider field of view camera. Results from the processed wider field of view data may be proposed to operators for review and, if desired, retention.

  • Patent number: 10734025
    Abstract: Techniques and devices for generating multiple output video variations for an input video based on a shared resource architecture. The shared resource architecture reuses and shares computational and gating results from one or more operations to create the multiple output video variations. The shared resource architecture applies a frame-time normalization of the trimmed and stabilized video to produce a trimmed stabilized normalized video and, thereafter, uses the trimmed stabilized normalized video to precompute one or more video parameters that can be shared with multiple output video variations. The shared resource architecture can then generate multiple output video variations using the shared video parameters.

  • Patent number: 10176845
    Abstract: Techniques and devices for creating a Forward-Reverse Loop output video and other output video variations. A pipeline may include obtaining input video and determining a start frame within the input video and a frame length parameter based on a temporal discontinuity minimization. The selected start frame and the frame length parameter may provide a reversal point within the Forward-Reverse Loop output video. The Forward-Reverse Loop output video may include a forward segment that begins at the start frame and ends at the reversal point and a reverse segment that starts after the reversal point and plays back one or more frames in the forward segment in a reverse order. The pipeline for the generating Forward-Reverse Loop output video may be part of a shared resource architecture that generates other types of output video variations, such as AutoLoop output videos and Long Exposure output videos.

  • Patent number: 9035949
    Abstract: Visually representing a composite graph of image functions includes providing a visual representation of a composite graph for an image, the visual representation including first items corresponding to respective image functions, and second items corresponding to containers for image functions, the image to be rendered by performing the image functions in an order defined by the composite graph. The user selects an expansion mode for presenting contents of a first container, each of the containers having a first expansion mode wherein the contents are displayed generally adjacent the visual representation, and a second expansion mode where the contents are displayed generally within the visual representation. A modified visual representation of the composite graph is provided in response to the input, wherein the modified visual representation maintains the order of the image functions defined by the composite graph and has the first container expanded according to the selected expansion mode.

  • Publication number: 20130321409
    Abstract: A method for rendering a stereoscopic view, the method comprising the steps of defining a stereoscopic scene view (102) comprising representation of a scene object (112), receiving a left-eye texture (203) and a right-eye texture (206) for the scene object (112) and generating a left-eye scene view (101) comprising the left-eye texture applied to the representation of the scene object and the right-eye scene view (107) comprising a right-eye texture applied to the representation of the scene object. The method further comprises the steps of, prior to generating the left-eye scene view and the right-eye scene view, determining a value of the texture parallax (P1,P2) between the left-eye texture (203) and the right-eye texture (206) and offsetting the left-eye texture (203) and the right-eye texture (206) by a half of the value of the texture parallax (P1, P2) in opposite directions such as to provide an offset left-eye texture (601) and an offset right-eye texture (602) with a texture parallax equal to zero.
