Patent number: 10452713Abstract: Systems and processes for improved video editing, summarization and navigation based on generation and analysis of metadata are described. The metadata may be content-based (e.g., differences between neighboring frames, exposure data, key frame identification data, motion data, or face detection data) or non-content-based (e.g., exposure, focus, location, time) and used to prioritize and/or classify portions of video. The metadata may be generated at the time of image capture or during post-processing. Prioritization information, such as a score for various portions of the image data may be based on the metadata and/or image data. Classification information such as the type or quality of a scene may be determined based on the metadata and/or image data. The classification and prioritization information may be metadata and may be used to automatically remove undesirable portions of the video, generate suggestions during editing or automatically generate summary video.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2014Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Shujie Liu, Ke Zhang, Xiaosong Zhou, Hsi-Jung Wu, Chris Y.

Patent number: 10417748Abstract: Several implementations relate, for example, to depth encoding and/or filtering for 3D video (3DV) coding formats. A sparse dyadic mode (308) for partitioning macroblocks (MBs) along edges in a depth map is provided as well as techniques for trilateral (or bilateral) filtering of depth maps that may include adaptive selection between filters sensitive to changes in video intensity and/or changes in depth. One implementation partitions a depth picture, and then refines the partitions based on a corresponding image picture. Another implementation filters a portion of a depth picture based on values for a range of pixels in the portion. For a given pixel in the portion that is being filtered, the filter weights a value of a particular pixel in the range by a weight that is based on one or more of location distance, depth difference, and image difference.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Wang Lin Lai, Shujie Liu, Dong Tian

Patent number: 10402677Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for estimating quality of images in an automated fashion. According to these techniques, a source image may be downsampled to generate at least two downsampled images at different levels of downsampling. Blurriness of the images may be estimated starting with a most-heavily downsampled image. Blocks of a given image may be evaluated for blurriness and, when a block of a given image is estimated to be blurry, the block of the image and co-located blocks of higher resolution image(s) may be designated as blurry. Thereafter, a blurriness score may be calculated for the source image from the number of blocks of the source image designated as blurry.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jiefu Zhai, Ke Zhang, Yunfei Zheng, Shujie Liu, Albert Keinath, Xiaosong Zhou, Chris Chung, Hsi-Jung Wu
