    Abstract: Image captured through a non-rectilinear lens may exhibit distortions. The distortions may be reduced by warping the image. However, warping the image may degrade the fidelity of the image. The warped image may be enhanced to increase the fidelity of the image. The enhancement may be applied to the portions of the image that were degraded from the warping.

    Abstract: An image signal processor accesses raw images from an image sensor. The image signal processor obtains adaptive acquisition control data for the raw images. The adaptive acquisition control data comprises at least one of a luminance value, a contrast value, a gain value, an exposure value, or a white balance value. The image signal processor obtains, in accordance with the adaptive acquisition control data, an indication of whether to use a star trails scene classification for the raw images. The image signal processor transmits, to buffers for storing data in accordance with the raw images, the indication of whether to use the star trails scene classification.

    Abstract: A pipeline in a controller may be configured to interface between sensors and actuators. The pipeline may elements such as drivers, filters, a combine, estimators, controllers, a mixer, and actuator controllers. The drivers may receive sensor data and pre-process the received sensor data. The filters may filter the pre-processed sensor data to generate filtered sensor data. The combine may package the filtered sensor data to generate packaged sensor data. The estimators may determine estimates of a position of a vehicle based on the packaged sensor data. The controllers may generate control signals based on the determined estimates. The mixer may modify the generated control signals based on limitations of the vehicle. The actuator controllers may generate actuator control signals based on the modified control signals to drive the actuators.

    Abstract: An image capture device is disclosed that includes a body defining a peripheral cavity and a removable door assembly that is configured to close and seal the peripheral cavity. The door assembly includes a door body; a locking mechanism; and a biasing member that is configured for engagement with the locking mechanism to resist unlocking of the locking mechanism until a threshold force is applied, at which time, the biasing member is moved from a normal position, in which the biasing member extends at a first angle in relation to the locking mechanism, to a deflected position, in which the biasing member extends at a second angle in relation to the locking mechanism. When locked, the door assembly is rotationally fixed in relation to the body of the image capture device, and when unlocked, the door assembly is rotatable in relation to the body of the image capture device.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for adding post-processing motion blur to video. Conventional post-processing techniques relied on the filmmaker to select and stage their shots. Different motion blur techniques were designed to fix certain types of footage. Vector blur is one technique that “smears” pixel information in the direction of movement. Frame interpolation and stacking attempts to create motion blur by stacking interpolated frames together. Each technique has its own set of limitations. Various embodiments use a combination of motion blur techniques in post-processing for better, more realistic outcomes with faster/more efficient rendering times. In some cases, this may enable adaptive quality post-processing that may be performed in mobile/embedded ecosystems.
