Abstract: Multiple cameras are arranged in an array at a pitch, roll, and yaw that allow the cameras to have adjacent fields of view such that each camera is pointed inward relative to the array. The read window of an image sensor of each camera in a multi-camera array can be adjusted to minimize the overlap between adjacent fields of view, to maximize the correlation within the overlapping portions of the fields of view, and to correct for manufacturing and assembly tolerances. Images from cameras in a multi-camera array with adjacent fields of view can be manipulated using low-power warping and cropping techniques, and can be taped together to form a final image.

Abstract: A spherical content capture system captures spherical video and audio content. In one embodiment, captured metadata or video/audio processing is used to identify content relevant to a particular user based on time and location information. The platform can then generate an output video from one or more shared spherical content files relevant to the user. The output video may include a non-spherical reduced field of view such as those commonly associated with conventional camera systems. Particularly, relevant sub-frames having a reduced field of view may be extracted from each frame of spherical video to generate an output video that tracks a particular individual or object of interest. For each sub-frame, a corresponding portion of an audio track is generated that includes a directional audio signal having a directionality based on the selected sub-frame.

Abstract translation: 多个相机以阵列，俯仰和偏转方式布置，允许相机具有相邻的视野，使得每个相机相对于阵列向内指向。 可以调整多相机阵列中每个相机的图像传感器的读取窗口，以使相邻视场之间的重叠最小化，以使视场的重叠部分之间的相关性最大化，并纠正制造和组装 公差。 可以使用低功率翘曲和裁剪技术来操纵具有相邻视场的多相机阵列中的相机的图像，并且可以将其粘贴在一起以形成最终图像。
