    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for encoding telemetry data as audio waveforms. Action cameras may be used to capture telemetry data, which in some applications, may be more useful than its audio/visual media capture. For example, a user may desire the “look-and-feel” of one camera but would like to use the telemetry track information from an action camera. In so-called “piggybacking” operation, the user may rigidly affix the two cameras and use the video track with the telemetry track in post-processing. Unfortunately, time-aligning the two tracks can result in relative drift over time. Various embodiments of the present disclosure transfer telemetry data as data-over-audio. The data-over-audio may be sampled according to the recipient device and recorded at capture. Subsequent post-processing may be performed with the time-aligned tracks.

    Abstract: An image capture device reduces noise floor using multiple microphones. The image capture device includes a processor that obtains a front microphone signal from a front microphone, the front microphone signal having a noisy noise floor portion, obtains a rear microphone signal from a rear microphone, sets a splice point based on mitigation of the noisy noise floor portion relative to a speech frequency range, and combines a substantially clean noise floor portion of the rear microphone signal at or below the splice point with a remaining portion of the front microphone signal above the splice point to generate a microphone signal.

    Abstract: High dynamic range (HDR) image processing for low light conditions is performed by obtaining three images. The three images include a first long exposure image and a pair of digitally overlapped (DOL) multi-exposure images. The DOL multi-exposure images include a second long exposure image and a short exposure image. Respective RGB images are obtained from the first long exposure image and the pair of DOL multi-exposure images. The respective RGB images are fused to generate a low light HDR image.

    Abstract: Multiple images that include a first image, a second image, and a third image are received. The multiple images are such that the second image is temporally between the first image and the third image. The first image, the second image, and the third image are combined to obtain a long-exposure image. High dynamic range processing is applied to the second image and the long-exposure image to obtain an output image with a larger dynamic range than a dynamic range of the second image. The high dynamic range processing uses the second image as a short-exposure image. An image based on the output image is transmitted, stored, or displayed.

    Abstract: An image capture apparatus includes first and second image sensors that generates heat and are opposed a space from each other and a housing assembly that encloses the first and second image sensors. The image capture apparatus includes first and second circuit boards that are connected respectively and separately with the first and second image sensors, and the first and second circuit boards include a peripheral edge that extends from the first and second image sensors to an outside of the housing assembly. The image capture apparatus includes a heatsink assembly positioned on the outside of the housing assembly and a heat conductor assembly that is extended between the heatsink assembly and the first and second circuit boards.

    Abstract: Wind processing performance is improved by the placement of one or more microphones on a device. The device includes one or more microphones on the front surface, one or more microphones on the top surface, and one or more microphones on the rear surface. The rear surface is a heatsink, and the one or more microphones on the rear surface are located in recesses created by two or more fins of the heatsink. The device includes a processor that performs wind processing based on signals from the one or more microphones on the front surface, signals from the one or more microphones on the top surface, signals from the one or more microphones on the rear surface, or any combination thereof.
