    Abstract: An image capture device is equipped with a microphone assembly that eliminates the need for a complex drain channel that facilitates water flow away from a microphone after submersion. The image capture device includes a housing, a microphone, a membrane, a microphone port, and a mesh. The microphone is disposed in an internal portion of the housing. The membrane includes an active portion, a non-active portion, or both. A first surface of the non-active portion of the membrane is coupled to an outer surface of the housing. The microphone port is disposed between the active portion of the membrane and the microphone. The mesh is coupled to the outer surface of the housing, the non-active portion of the membrane, or both.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sensor prioritization for composite image capture. For example, methods may include selecting an image sensor as a prioritized sensor from among an array of two or more image sensors; determining one or more image processing parameters based on one or more images captured using the prioritized sensor; applying image processing using the one or more image processing parameters to images captured with each image sensor in the array of two or more image sensors to obtain respective processed images for the array of two or more image sensors; and stitching the respective processed images for the array of two or more image sensors to obtain a composite image.

    Abstract: Systems and processes for cameras with a reconfigurable lens assembly are described. For example, some methods include automatically detecting that an accessory lens structure has been mounted to an image capture device including a mother lens and an image sensor configured to detect light incident through the mother lens, such that an accessory lens of the accessory lens structure is positioned covering the mother lens; responsive to detecting that the accessory lens structure has been mounted, automatically identifying the accessory lens from among a set of multiple supported accessory lenses; accessing an image captured using the image sensor when the accessory lens structure is positioned covering the mother lens; determining a warp mapping based on identification of the accessory lens; applying the warp mapping to the image to obtain a warped image; and transmitting, storing, or displaying an output image based on the warped image.

    Abstract: An image capture device may detect and repair banding artifacts in a video. The image capture device may include an image sensor and an image processor. The image sensor may capture a frame that includes a sinusoidal light waveform banding artifact. The image processor may detect a sinusoidal light waveform in the frame. The image processor may perform a sinusoidal regression. The image processor may obtain an inverted gain map. The image processor may apply the inverted gain map to the frame. The image processor may output the frame.

    Abstract: A camera includes a lens, an image sensor, and a display. The lens and the image sensor are configured to capture images. The display may include an array of lights that are selectively illuminable to display the graphics. The lights may be arranged in a grid with each of the lights forming a pixel of the display. The display is hidden from view when not illuminated and displays graphics when illuminated. The camera may include a body that hides the display from view when not illuminated and permits light from the display to pass therethrough when illuminated. The body may include an elastomeric outer layer through which light from the display passes. The body may have a first side having the lens and on which the display displays the graphics. The camera may further include a second display on a second side of the body facing opposite the first side.

    Abstract: A dynamic propulsion system may be implemented to recover some or all of the wasted energy during a flight. The dynamic propulsion system may include one or more propellers that are configured to act as a propulsion system when altitude is rising and act as a windmill to generate energy to charge a battery during descent. The one or more propellers may include blades that are configured to adjust their angle of attack or pitch on command to switch from propulsion mode to regenerative mode and vice versa.

    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: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include receiving a first image from a first image sensor; receiving a second image from a second image sensor; determining an electronic rolling shutter correction mapping for the first image and the second image; determining a parallax correction mapping based on the first image and the second image for stitching the first image and the second image; determining a warp mapping based on the parallax correction mapping and the electronic rolling shutter correction mapping, wherein the warp mapping applies the electronic rolling shutter correction mapping after the parallax correction mapping; applying the warp mapping to image data based on the first image and the second image to obtain a composite image; and storing, displaying, or transmitting an output image that is based on the composite image.
