Abstract: Systems and methods for providing video content using spatially adaptive video encoding. Panoramic and/or virtual reality content may be viewed by a client device using a viewport with viewing dimension(s) configured smaller than available dimension(s) of the content. Client device may include a portable media device characterized by given energy and/or computational resources. Video content may be encoded using spatially varying encoding. For image playback, portions of panoramic image may be pre-encoded using multiple quality bands. Pre-encoded image portions, matching the viewport, may be provided and reduce computational and/or energy load on the client device during consumption of panoramic content. Quality distribution may include gradual quality transition area allowing for small movements of the viewport without triggering image re-encoding. Larger movements of the viewport may automatically trigger transition to another spatial encoding distribution.

Abstract: Interaction information may be received. The interaction information may indicate users' spatial selections of the video content as a function of progress through the video content. The video content may have a progress length. The spatial selections of the video content may include viewing directions of the video content selected by the users as the function of progress through the video content. Aggregate spatial selections of the video content may be determined at individual points in the progress length. Aggregate spatial selections may include an aggregation of the viewing directions selected by the users at the individual points. Directions of view for the video content may be determined based on the aggregate spatial selections of the video content. The socially built view of video content may be generated based on the directions of view for the video content.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for overcapture storytelling. In one aspect, a method for the display of post-processed captured content is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes analyzing captured panoramic video content for portions that satisfy a cinematic criteria; presenting options to a user of available cinematic styles pursuant to the satisfied cinematic criteria; receiving a selection in accordance with the presented options; post-processing the captured panoramic video content in accordance with the received selection; and causing display of the post-processed captured panoramic video content. In some implementations, the analysis of captured panoramic video content is performed via the use of metadata associated with the captured panoramic video content. Image capture devices, computing systems, computer-readable apparatus and integrated circuit apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: Content proxy may be obtained. Content may include video captured by an action camera. Content proxy may include metadata information obtained contemporaneous with the content and stored in a session container. Content proxy may include lower data rate version of the content (thumbnails). Content proxy information may be viewed and/or analyzed in order to obtain one or more highlights. Content portion corresponding to the highlight may be obtained. Multiple versions of content proxy obtained by multiple cameras may be used to identify, display, and/or share content portions in a multi-camera/multiuser applications.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing a frame packing arrangement for the encoding/decoding of, for example, panoramic content. In one embodiment, an encoder apparatus is disclosed. In a variant, the encoder apparatus is configured to encode Segmented Sphere Projections (SSP) imaging data and/or Rotated Sphere Projections (RSP) imaging data into an extant imaging format. In another variant, a decoder apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, the decoder apparatus is configured to decode SSP imaging data and/or RSP imaging data from an extant imaging format. Computing devices, computer-readable storage apparatus, integrated circuits and methods for using the aforementioned encoder and decoder are also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for combining metadata with video into a video stream using a 32-bit aligned payload, that is computer storage efficient and human discernable. The metadata is stored in a track in a self-describing structure. Metadata track may be decoded using an identifier reference table that is substantially smaller than typical fourCC identifier tables. The combined metadata/video stream is compatible with a standard video stream convention and may be played using conventional media player applications that reads media files compliant with MP4/MOV container format. The proposed format may enable decoding of metadata during streaming, partitioning of combined video stream without loss of metadata. The proposed format and/or metadata protocol provides for temporal synchronization of metadata with video frames.

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.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for enabling indexing and playback of media content before the end of a content capture. In one aspect, a method for enabling indexing of media data obtained as part of a content capture is disclosed. In one embodiment, the indexing enables playback of the media data during the capture and before cessation thereof. In one variant, the method includes generating an “SOS track” for one or more images. The SOS track does not contain the same information as a full index, but provides sufficient information to allow an index to be subsequently constructed. In one implementation, the provided information includes identifiable markers relating to video data, audio data, or white space, but it does not provide an enumerated or complete “table of contents” as in a traditional index.
