METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR AUGMENTING DENSE DEPTH MAPS USING SPARSE DATA
Systems, apparatus, and methods for augmenting dense depth maps using sparse data. Various embodiments combine single-image depth estimation (SIDE) techniques with structure-from-motion techniques for improved depth accuracy. In some examples, a machine learning (ML) model is used to generate a dense depth map based on one or more frames/images of a video. Structure-from-motion (SfM) analysis is performed on the video to determine depth information from camera movement in the video. The structure-from-motion techniques may generate more accurate data than the ML model, however, the data from the ML model may be denser compared with the SFM depth data. The dense ML model depth map may be augmented by the SFM depth data. Augmentation may include fitting the relative depths determined by the ML model depth map to the absolute depth in the SFM data resulting in more accurate dense depth information.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for selectively parsing a live stream for a connected device. GoPro® cameras capture 2 video streams for every recording: a main resolution video (MRV) and a frame aligned low-resolution video (LRV). Currently, the LRV is streamed to other devices for playback in real-time.

Methods and apparatus for post-processing in-camera stabilized video. Embodiments of the present disclosure reconstruct and re-stabilize an in-camera stabilized video to provide for improved stabilization (e.g., a wider crop, etc.). In-camera sensor data may be stored and used to re-calculate orientation metadata in post-production. In-camera stabilization provides several benefits (e.g., the ability to share stabilized videos from the camera without additional post-processing as well as reduced file sizes of the shared videos). Camera-aware post-processing can reuse portions of the in-camera stabilized videos while providing additional benefits (e.g., the ability to regenerate the original captured videos in post-production and re-stabilize the videos). Camera-aware post-processing can also improve orientation metadata and remove sensor error. The disclosed techniques also enable assisted optical flow-based stabilization using the refined metadata.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for “fast” wake-up using virtualized addresses. Action cameras need to conserve power most of the time, but also be immediately responsive to catch action when it happens. Unfortunately, most general-purpose operating systems (e.g., Linux-based) lock up the processor during boot-up. Empirically, an OS boot process might take between 6-7 seconds from start to finish, even in highly streamlined boot sequences. This is undesirable, especially where one device (e.g., a smart phone) triggers an action camera to capture an image. Various embodiments of the present disclosure create “virtual action addresses” that directly expose interrupts as addressable space (via a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) network). In one such example, the interrupts trigger a capture or other action. The action camera can immediately service the interrupts with its real-time operating system (RTOS) while the general-purpose OS is booting up.

Methods and Apparatus for Metadata-Based Processing of Media Content
Methods and apparatus for metadata-based cinematography, production effects, shot selection, and/or other content augmentation. Effective cinematography conveys storyline, emotion, excitement, etc. Unfortunately, most amateur filmmakers lack the knowledge and ability to create cinema quality media. Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, rendering media based on instantaneous metadata. Unlike traditional post-processing techniques that rely on human subjectivity, some of the various techniques described herein leverage the camera's actual experiential data to enable cinema-quality post-processing for the general consuming public. Instantaneous metadata-based cinematography and shot selection advisories and architectures are also described.
