Abstract: A graphical user interface for framing a video may include a framing element. Responsive to user interaction with the framing element, a framing of the video at a moment may be determined. The framing of the video may define viewing direction, viewing size, viewing rotation, and/or viewing projection for a viewing window. The framing of the video at the moment may be determined based on how the video is being presented when the user interacted with the framing element.

Abstract: A video may include visual content having a progress length. A user may interact with a mobile device to set framings of the visual content at moments within the progress length. The framings of the visual content may be provided to a video editing application. The video editing application may utilize the framings set via the mobile device to provide preliminary framings of the visual content at the moments within the progress length.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing of video content to optimize codec bandwidth. In one embodiment, the method includes capturing panoramic imaging content (e.g., a 360° panorama), mapping the panoramic imaging content into an equi-angular cubemap (EAC) format, and splitting the EAC format into segments for transmission to maximize codec bandwidth. In one exemplary embodiment, the EAC segments are transmitted at a different frame rate than the subsequent display rate of the panoramic imaging content. For example, the mapping and frame rate may be chosen to enable the rendering of 8K, 360-degree content at 24 fps, using commodity encoder hardware and software that nominally supports 4K content at 60 fps.

Abstract: Multiple framings of a video may define different positionings of a viewing window at different moments within the video. The positionings of the viewing window defined by the multiple framings may be used as fixed positionings of the viewing window in a viewing path. The viewing path may define changes in the positioning of the viewing window between the fixed positionings. A presentation of the video may be generated to include the extents of the video within the viewing window.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for shear correction in spherical projections. Embedded devices generally lack the compute and/or memory resources to implement two-dimensional (2D) stitches for spherical projections. Objects (such as a mounting fixture) within a certain distance of the camera may experience a 2D “tear” or “shear” artifact when stitched. Various embodiments of the present disclosure perform two orthogonal 1D stitches: (i) latitudinally across the meridian and (ii) longitudinally along the meridian to approximate the effect of a 2D stitch. Notably, the 1D stitch may be less precise than a true 2D stitch, however the image portion being stitched (e.g., the camera mount) is not the user's subject of interest and can be rendered much more loosely without adverse consequence. Temporal smoothing optimizations are additionally disclosed.

Abstract: A viewing direction may define an angle/visual portion of a spherical video at which a viewing window is directed. A trajectory of viewing direction may include changes in viewing directions for playback of spherical video. Abrupt changes in the viewing directions may result in jerky or shaky views of the spherical video. Changes in the viewing directions may be stabilized to provide stabilized views of the spherical video. Amount of stabilization may be limited by a margin constraint.

Abstract: Systems and methods for marking an event of interest within a spherical video segment are provided. The spherical video segment may define visual content viewable from a point of view. User input designating an event of interest within the visual content may be received. The user input may indicate a point in time in the spherical video segment and a viewing angle of the event of interest. Tag information associated with the event of interest may be generated. The tag information may identify the point in time and the viewing angle such that notification of alert information is effectuated based on a determination that the viewing angle, proximate to the point in time during a subsequent presentation of the spherical video segment, is outside a display field of view. The alert information may indicate that the event of interest is located outside the display field of view.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for multi-encoder processing of high resolution content. In one embodiment, the method includes capturing high resolution imaging content; splitting up the captured high resolution imaging content into respective portions; feeding the split up portions to respective imaging encoders; packing encoded content from the respective imaging encoders into an A/V container; and storing and/or transmitting the A/V container. In another embodiment, the method includes retrieving and/or receiving an A/V container; splitting up the retrieved and/or received A/V container into respective portions; feeding the split up portions to respective imaging decoders; stitching the decoded imaging portions into a common imaging portion; and storing and/or displaying at least a portion of the common imaging portion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting and viewing a spherical video segment is provided. The spherical video segment including tag information associated with an event of interest may be obtained. The tag information may identify a point in time and a viewing angle at which the event of interest is viewable in the spherical video segment. An orientation of a two dimensional display may be determined based upon output signals of a sensor. A display field of view within the spherical video segment may be determined and presented on the display based upon the orientation of the display. The display field of view may be captured as a two dimensional video segment. If the viewing angle of the event of interest is outside the display field of view proximate the point in time, a notification may be presented within the display field of view.
