Abstract:
Various embodiments for creating media clips are disclosed. Media clips are created by a server in response to receiving primary media recordings from one or more content capture devices or content capture and tagging devices, and one or more instances of activity identification information from content tagging devices. The server creates media clips from by copying portions of the primary media recordings in accordance with the activity identification information, such as a time that a user selected an activity indicator displayed on a respective content tagging device. The media clips are then stored in association with at least users who provided the activity identification information to the server.
Abstract:
A picture coding apparatus (10) which generates a stream so as to be able to decode a picture by obtaining a picture parameter set necessary for decoding the picture even at the time of trick-play, the apparatus including: a slice coding unit (11) which codes the picture and generates coded data; a picture parameter set (PPS) generation unit (13) which generates sequence parameter set (SPS); a PPS generation unit (16) which generates the PPS; and an access unit (AU) determination unit 17 which stores pieces of coded data respectively into access units of a random access unit (RAU) and stores the SPS into a first AU, and stores the PPS into the first AU or into the AU in which one piece of the coded data that refers to the PPS is stored.
Abstract:
A system for wireless remote control of a gateway and ordering or invocation of services provided by a headend. The remote control includes a video display and user input device or keyboard and can decompress and display compressed streaming video in some embodiments. Some species of the remote control can act as web browsers, appliance control, TIVO function control, an IP telephony telephone, a cellular telephone and /or an MP3 player. In some embodiments, the gateway and/or headend can implement TIVO-like functions under control from a wireless remote of custom design or implemented on a Personal Digital Assistant.
Abstract:
Systems and methods can support a data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can include a data processor that is associated with a data capturing device on a stationary object and/or a movable object. The data processor can receive data in a data flow from one or more data sources, wherein the data flow is configured based on a time sequence. Then, the data processor can receive a control signal, which is associated with a first timestamp, wherein the first timestamp indicates a first time. Furthermore, the data processor can determine a first data segment by applying the first timestamp on the data flow, wherein the first data segment is associated with a time period in the time sequence that includes the first time.
Abstract:
Techniques and devices for acquiring and compressing timelapse video are described. The techiques are adaptive, in that the acquisition frame rate is adapted and captured images are periodically deleted during filming. To implement the method, a user need not know ahead of time how long the source video will be acquired. Regardless of the acquisition time, the resulting video is automatically edited to provide a timelapse clip of a predefined length or of a length within a predefined range.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus (100) includes a first imaging unit (13), a second imaging unit (103) configured to image an object in an opposite direction from the first imaging unit, a detection unit (44) configured to detect an orientation of the imaging apparatus, and a control unit (50) configured to perform control for displaying an image captured by the first imaging unit and an image captured by the second imaging unit on a display unit (28) at the same time. The control unit performs control so that the image captured by the second imaging unit is displayed after being rotated if the detection unit detects that the orientation of the imaging apparatus is a predetermined orientation, in a case where the image captured by the second imaging unit is displayed together with the image captured by the first imaging unit without being reversed by a mirror image reversal.
Abstract:
A system for high dynamic range (HDR) imaging and methods for making and using same is disclosed. An HDR module in a camera initializes a set of lookup tables (LUTs) in YUV color space based on exposure configurations of a set of images taken as HDR imaging. The HDR module calculates weights of luminance Y components of the set of images in YUV color space. Based on the calculated weights, the HDR module blends the Y component of the set of images to generate blended Y components. The HDR module combines the blended Y components with corresponding UV components to generate a single image in YUV space. Thereby, the HDR module advantageously combines a set of images into a blended HDR image with only blending the Y component of the set of images.
Abstract:
