  • Publication number: 20170191840
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for clustering various types of media objects received from one or more media sources. An exemplary method includes sorting the media objects based on a time value associated with each media object, wherein the time value represents when each corresponding media object was created. A delta between each two adjacent, sorted media objects is then determined. The delta includes a distance value that represents a difference between a geolocation associated with each two adjacent media objects. The delta also includes a velocity value that represents the velocity of travel between the geolocation associated with each two adjacent media objects. Once the delta is determined, a plurality of sorted media Objects are clustered into one or more segments based on the velocity value between the adjacent, sorted media objects.

  • Publication number: 20140363137
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for requesting a geo-referenced interactive tour using media objects collected from a plurality of users. An exemplary method includes accessing a plurality of selected user profiles. Each user profile is associated with one or more users. Media objects hosted by the selected user profiles are clustered into trip segments based on a velocity value associated with each media object. Geo-referenced data for at least one trip segment is collected based on a first and last media object associated with the trip segment. The trip segments are combined into the digital video. Each trip segment is rendered to include its associated media objects and geo-referenced data. Each trip segment is rendered according to a presentation style that is selected based on its associated media objects.

  • Patent number: 8862995
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums for rendering a geo-referenced interactive tour using media objects associated with a user. An exemplary method includes collecting the media objects from one or more selected user profiles associated with the user. Each media object is collected based on an associated time value. The collected media objects are organized into one or more trip segments based on velocity value associated with each collected media object, the velocity value indicating the velocity of travel between two media objects. At least one trip segment is rendered into the interactive tour. The trip segment is rendered to include its media objects and geo-referenced data. The geo-referenced data is determined from at least one geolocation associated with a media object included in the trip segment. The media objects and geo-referenced data are rendered according to a presentation style that is selected based on the included media objects.

  • Patent number: 7286132
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable medium including instructions for processing single definition or high definition video data to produce an two dimensional and three dimensional effects to occur at a future time. The effects are created in a video processing system using multiple threads.
