    Abstract: A method provides capturing successive video image frames with an imaging device to generate a video. Processing the successive video image frames to determine positions of multiple subjects with the successive video image frames. Obtaining information for the multiple subjects from one or more sensors physically attached to respective ones of the multiple subjects. Determining a region of interest containing the multiple subjects in the successive video image frames of the video. Obtaining additional video image frames that include the multiple subjects. Processing the additional video image frames so that the one or more multiple subjects are maintained within the additional video image frames. Identifying a single subject out of the multiple subjects within the additional video image frames. Providing live videos that include the single subject to a sharing service via an application in communication with the imaging device regarding the single subject.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include determining an orientation setpoint for an image sensor; based on a sequence of orientation estimates for the image sensor and the orientation setpoint, invoking a mechanical stabilization system to adjust an orientation of the image sensor toward the orientation setpoint; receiving an image from the image sensor; determining an orientation error between the orientation of the image sensor and the orientation setpoint during capture of the image; based on the orientation error, invoking an electronic image stabilization module to correct the image for a rotation corresponding to the orientation error to obtain a stabilized image; and storing, displaying, or transmitting an output image based on the stabilized image.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include determining a sequence of orientation estimates based on sensor data from one or more motion sensors; based on the sequence of orientation estimates, invoking a mechanical stabilization system to reject motions of an image sensor occurring within a first operating bandwidth with an upper cutoff frequency; receiving an image from the image sensor; based on the sequence of orientation estimates, invoking an electronic image stabilization module to correct the image for rotations of the image sensor occurring within a second operating bandwidth with a lower cutoff frequency to obtain a stabilized image, wherein the lower cutoff frequency is greater than the upper cutoff frequency; and storing, displaying, or transmitting an output image based on the stabilized image.

    Abstract: A condition of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is detected using one or more sensors of the UAV and signaled according to an alert definition associated with the condition. For example, an alert definition can indicate to signal the condition by using a motor of the UAV to produce an audible tone. A tonal signal having a frequency within an audible spectrum can be generated according to the alert definition. The tonal signal and a drive signal used for supplying current to the motor can be combined to produce a combined signal. The combined signal can then be transmitted to the motor to cause the motor to produce the audible tone. In some cases, an amplitude of the tonal signal can be modulated, such as where the amplitude of the combined signal exceeds a threshold associated with an operating margin of the UAV.

    Abstract: Controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle to traverse a portion of an operational environment of the unmanned aerial vehicle may include obtaining an object detection type, obtaining object detection input data, obtaining relative object orientation data based on the object detection type and the object detection input data, and performing an object avoidance operation based on the relative object orientation data. The object detection type may be monocular object detection, which may include obtaining the relative object orientation data by obtaining motion data indicating a change of spatial location for the unmanned aerial vehicle between obtaining the first image and obtaining the second image based on searching along epipolar lines to obtain optical flow data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include, receiving an image from an image sensor; storing a sequence of images captured after the image in a buffer; determining an orientation error between the orientation of the image sensor and an orientation setpoint during capture of the image; determining a rotation corresponding to the orientation error based on orientation estimates from the sequence of orientation estimates corresponding to the sequence of images; and invoking an electronic image stabilization module to correct the image to obtain a stabilized image, in which the electronic image stabilization module corrects the image for the rotation corresponding to the orientation error.
