Abstract: Apparatus and methods for the pre-processing of image data so as to enhance quality of subsequent encoding and rendering. In one embodiment, a capture 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, are configured to: receive captured image data (such as that sourced from two or more separate image sensors) and pre-process the data to enable stabilization of the corresponding images prior to encoding. In some implementations, the pre-processing includes combination (e.g., stitching) of the captured image data associated with the two or more sensors to facilitates the stabilization. Advantageously, undesirable artifacts such as object “jitter” can be reduced or eliminated. Methods and non-transitory computer readable apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device includes a processor that is configured to obtain first facets of a first wide field-of-view image. An object is identified in a facet of the first facets. A second wide field-of-view image is obtained. A location of the object is identified in the second wide field-of-view image. Using the location of the object, the second wide field-of-view image is partitioned into second facets such that no boundary of any of the second facets overlaps the object. The second facets are then encoded in a compressed bitstream.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for stabilization and blending of exposures. So-called Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) techniques use image manipulation software to compensate for camera motion. Unfortunately, existing EIS techniques cannot compensate for artifacts introduced by low shutter speed (e.g., blurs). Various embodiments of the present disclosure generate stabilized images from multiple exposures. In one exemplary embodiment, the stabilized exposures are blended using a linear sum of the color data for each pixel of the image. By stabilizing each exposure and linearly summing the light information, the camera shake can be removed, and the subject motion blur can be controlled. The stabilization and blending techniques enable a mathematical emulation of a selected shutter angle from many high-speed exposures.

Abstract: Information may be visually encoded within visual content of an image using a distortion projection. The distortion projection may cause stretching of a visual element defined within a pixel array of the image. Information may be visually encoded within the pixel array using visual characteristic(s) of the pixel array. Presentation of the visual content based on a non-distortion projection may reduce a number of pixels that defines the visual element within the pixel array and may reduce visual impact of the information visually encoded within the pixel array.

Abstract: Multiple single lens distortion regions and one or more boundary regions may be determined within an image. Individual single lens distortion regions may have pixel displacement defined by a single lens distortion and individual boundary regions may have pixel displacement defined by a blend of at least two lens distortions. Multiple lens distortions may be simulated within the image by shifting pixels of the image input positions to output positions based on locations of pixels within a single lens distortion region and the corresponding single lens distortion or within a boundary region and a blend of corresponding lens distortions.

Abstract: A capture setting for one or more image capture devices may be determined. The capture setting may define one or more aspects of operation for the image capture device(s). The aspect(s) of operation for the image capture device(s) may include one or more aspects of operation for a processor of the image capture device(s), an image sensor of the image capture device(s), and/or an optical element of the image capture device(s). A machine-readable optical code may be generated based on the capture setting and/or other information. The machine-readable optical code may convey the capture setting for the image capture device(s) such that a first image capture device capturing a first image including the machine-readable optical code may: (1) identify the machine-readable optical code within the first image; (2) determine the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and (3) operate in accordance with the capture setting.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tagging portions a spherical video segment are provided. The spherical video segment may include visual content. User input indicating a moment in time in the spherical video segment and a viewing angle corresponding to the moment in time may be received. Tag information for the spherical video segment may be generated. The tag information may identify the moment in time and the viewing angle such that a subsequent presentation of the spherical video segment, proximate to the moment in time, includes a notification that the viewing angle is outside a display field of view based on the viewing angle being located outside the display field of view.

Abstract: An image capture device may capture visual content during a visual capture duration and audio content during an audio capture duration. The audio capture duration may be shorter than the visual capture duration. The captured audio content may provide audio for playback of the captured visual content.
