Abstract: Positions of an image capture device during capture of a video may be transferred to a computing device before the video is transferred to the computing device. The positions of the image capture device may be used to determine a viewing window for the video before the video is obtained. The viewing window may be used to present a stabilized view of the video when the video is obtained. For example, a stabilized view of the video may be presented as the video is streamed to the computing device.

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: Apparatus and methods for optimized stitching of overcapture content. In one embodiment, the optimized stitching of the overcapture content includes capturing the overcapture content; producing overlap bands associated with the captured overcapture content; downsampling the produced overlap bands; generating derivative images from the downsampled overlap bands; generating a cost map associated with the generated derivative images; determining shortest path information for the generated cost map; generating a warp file based on the determined shortest path information, the generated warp file being utilized for the optimized stitching of the overcapture content. Camera apparatus and a non-transitory computer-readable apparatus are also disclosed.

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° content at 24 fps, using commodity encoder hardware and software that nominally supports 4K content at 60 fps.

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: Apparatus and methods for the non-uniform downsampling of captured panoramic images. In one embodiment, a computing device is disclosed that includes a processing apparatus and a non-transitory computer readable apparatus comprising a storage medium have one or more instructions stored thereon. The one or more instructions, when executed by the processing apparatus, being configured to: receive captured images, the captured images obtained using two or more image sensors; non-uniformly downsample the received captured images; and encode the non-uniformly downsampled images. In some variants, the non-uniformly downsampled images take into account a desired area of interest within the captured images. In some implementations, the computing device includes an image capture device. Methods and non-transitory computer readable apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: A video may be captured by an image capture device in motion. A stabilized view of the video may be generated by providing a punchout of the video. The punchout of the video may compensate for rotation of the image capture device during capture of the video. The size of the punchout of the video may be changed based on different rotational positions of to provide a view that includes different extents of the captured visual content. The changes in the size of the punchout may simulate changes in zoom of the visual content.

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.
