    Abstract: Image capture devices and methods may be used to pre-buffer media storage. The pre-buffering method includes recording an image capture segment of a variable bitrate input stream in a circular buffer. The circular buffer includes a number of recordable segments. The method includes recording a next image capture segment in a next adjacent recordable segment of the circular buffer if the next adjacent recordable segment of the predetermined number of recordable segments is available. The method includes overwriting an oldest recordable segment if the next adjacent recordable segment of the predetermined number of recordable segments is not available.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for night lapse video capture are disclosed. The apparatus includes an image sensor, an image processor, and a video encoder. The image sensor is configured to capture image data. The image data includes a first image that is temporally precedent to a second image. The image processor is configured to determine a motion estimation. The motion estimation is based on a comparison of a portion of the first image and a portion of the second image. The image processor is configured to subtract a mask from the second image to obtain a denoised image. The mask is based on the motion estimation. The video encoder is configured to receive the denoised image from the image processor. The video encoder is configured to encode the denoised image in a video format. The video encoder is configured to output a video file in the video format.

    Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for temporal information synchronization of imaging devices are disclosed. The method comprises capturing media using an imaging device, generating a sequence identifier for each of the media, generating a timestamp for each of the media, determining that at least one of the media includes an unknown time tag, receiving an input including temporal information, determining a time offset between each timestamp and the temporal information, and updating the timestamp for each of the media that includes an unknown time tag using the time offset to provide an updated timestamp.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for field of view adjustment for image capture devices. For example, methods may include receiving a field of view selection; oversampling, using an image sensor, to obtain an image at a capture resolution that is greater than an encode resolution; determining a crop setting based on the field of view selection; cropping the image using the crop setting to obtain a cropped image; down-scaling the cropped image to obtain a scaled image at the encode resolution; encoding the scaled image at the encode resolution; and storing, displaying, or transmitting an output image based on the scaled image.

    Abstract: A system with an integrated internal battery, a removable battery, and a power management integrated circuit. The power management integrated circuit is configured to provide power to the image capture device from the removable battery; provide power to the image capture device from the integrated internal battery when the removable battery is disconnected from the image capture device or the removable battery does not have a sufficient charge to drive the image capture device; and recharge the integrated internal battery before the removable battery until the integrated internal battery has a sufficient charge to power the image capture device. The power is continuously supplied to the image capture device from the integrated internal battery while the removable battery is disconnected from the image capture device or does not have sufficient power to drive the image capture device.

    Abstract: A device includes a processor that is configured to detect that a first image is captured by the device; configure the device to capture images in a first resolution after detecting that the first image was captured; start a timer; restart the timer when a second image is captured before the timer expires; detect an event indicative of a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution; and configure the device to capture images in the second resolution after detecting the event indicative of the second resolution.
