    Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and computer-readable media to automatically crop videos using personalized parameters. Some implementations include a computer-implemented method that comprises obtaining an input video, determining a per-frame crop score for one or more candidate crop regions in each frame of the input video, generating a face signal for the one or more candidate crop regions, adjusting each per-frame crop score based on the face signal, determining a minimal cost path that represents crop region locations based on motion cost and the adjusted per-frame crop score, generating crop keyframing corresponding to the crop region locations along the minimal cost path, wherein the crop keyframing includes a start frame, an end frame, and crop region location, and outputting a modified video that has one or more of an output aspect ratio or an output orientation that is different than a corresponding aspect ratio or an orientation of the input video.

    Abstract: A light-field camera system such as a tiled camera array may be used to capture a light-field of an environment. The tiled camera array may be a tiered camera array with a first plurality of cameras and a second plurality of cameras that are arranged more densely, but have lower resolution, than those of the first plurality of cameras. The first plurality of cameras may be interspersed among the second plurality of cameras. The first and second pluralities may cooperate to capture the light-field. According to one method, a subview may be captured by each camera of the first and second pluralities. Estimated world properties of the environment may be computed for each subview. A confidence map may be generated to indicate a level of confidence in the estimated world properties for each subview. The confidence maps and subviews may be used to generate a virtual view of the environment.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for multi-attendee video conferencing are described. A system can convert from huddle video conference mode to spatial video conference mode. In particular, by assigning user roles, specific users can have greater control of the video conference as compared to other users. For instance, moderators may have a greater level of control of the video conferencing system. Thus, in example implementations of the present disclosure, specific users can affect transition between two or more video conferencing modes, such as between a huddle video conference mode and a spatial video conference mode.
