  • Patent number: 11437074
    Abstract: A method and system for composing a video of a course of actions along a track in an area monitored by a plurality of video cameras. A first sequence of user inputs defining the track is received. Each user input in the first sequence is associated with a time stamp and is received as an indication of a position in a map of the area being monitored. For each user input in the first sequence, video recordings from those that have a field-of-view covering the position indicated by the user input are collected. The collected video recordings are recorded in a time period starting at the time stamp associated with the user input and ending at a time stamp associated with a next user input in the first sequence or when an indication to stop the collecting is received. A video material is then composed from the collected video recordings.

  • Patent number: 11431901
    Abstract: An illustrative system constructs a map that associates pixel locations in a panoramic image to camera modules in a set of camera modules. The map may associate a first pixel location in the panoramic image to a first camera module in the set of camera modules and a second pixel location in the panoramic image to a second camera module in the set of camera modules. The second pixel location borders the first pixel location in the panoramic image. The system blends, based on at least one weight, a pixel value of the first pixel location captured by the first camera module with a pixel value of the second pixel location captured by the second camera module to determine a pixel value for a blended pixel in the panoramic image.
