An image-stitching method compensates electronic rolling shutter (ERS) distortion and parallax to produce a composite image. A first and second image from respective sensors are received. An ERS correction mapping is computed at a lower resolution than a parallax correction mapping. A far point and a near point defining an initial epipolar line are identified. A compensated near point is determined from ERS data, and a compensated epipolar line is formed by linear interpolation between the far point and the compensated near point. A one-dimensional search along the compensated epipolar line yields a parallax translation between the images. A warp mapping is determined from the parallax translation and the ERS correction mapping, and applied to blend the images into a composite. The technique decouples ERS estimation from parallax and is suitable for multi-sensor capture devices and post-capture stitching.

Methods and apparatus for navigation-based prefetching for just-in-time delivery. Existing content delivery networks (CDNs) are optimized for providing mass media to many consumers. This delivery model is poorly suited to user-specific content. An exemplary client application uses a first user agent to play media, and one or more second user agent(s) that prefetch media. A prefetch process “pre-warms” the CDN, such that the media content is transferred to the appropriate edge server for just-in-time playback by the player agent. In one specific implementation, the prefetch agent monitors user actions (e.g., navigation, etc.) to anticipate user media selections. Anticipated candidates are eagerly prefetched.

An image capture device changes between operation in a non-dive mode and a dive mode. When the image capture device is not under water, the image capture device is operated in the non-dive mode. The visual content captured by the image capture device is stabilized based on an above-water lens prescription and placement of a viewing window within the visual content. When the image capture device is under water, the image capture device is operated in the dive mode. In the dive mode, the lens prescription used for visual content stabilization is changed from the above-water lens prescription to the under-water lens prescription, and the size of the viewing window is scaled down.

Image Capture Device Control Using Mobile Platform Voice Recognition
Implementations of a mobile platform for device control may use voice recognition. A user may use a mobile platform, such as a mobile application, on a mobile device to interpret and relay voice commands to a device. Voice recognition services may be integrated into the mobile application, the mobile device operating system (OS), or both.
An image capture device may include multiple lenses and multiple image sensors. The image capture device may operate in a multi-lens exposure mode or a single lens exposure mode. In the multi-lens exposure mode, the exposure setting of individual image sensors may be determined based on luminance of the scene included within the field of view of corresponding lenses. In the single lens exposure mode, the group exposure setting for all image sensors may be determined based on luminance of the scene included within the field of view of a single lens. The user may change the operation of the image capture device between the multi-lens exposure mode and the single lens exposure mode by interacting with an exposure mode element presented on an electronic display.
Motion of an image capture device during capture of a video, such as a spherical video, is utilized to frame visual content of the video. The motion of the image capture device during video capture is used to determine how the visual content will be framed (e.g., for presentation, for inclusion in a video clip/video edit). The motion of the image capture device during video capture is determined using the visual content projected onto a plane using stereographic projection.
Media item(s) stored on an image capture device are identified for sharing. The image capture device runs a web server that hosts the media item(s) and runs a media access webpage for other computing device(s) to access the hosted media item(s). The image capture device creates a communication network having a network name and a network password, generates machine-readable optical code(s) that convey the network name and the network password of the communication network, and presents the machine-readable optical code(s) on an electronic display. A computing device that captures an image including the machine-readable optical code(s) connects to the communication network using the network name and the network password of the communication network conveyed by the machine-readable optical code(s). The media access webpage is provided to the computing device connected to the communication network, which enables a user of the computing device to access the hosted media item(s).

Systems and methods for generating time-split videos
A time-split video is generated from a video to provide a simultaneous view of different spatial portions of video at different moments. The time-split video is generated to include multiple time-split video panes. The multiple time-split video panes cover different spatial portions of the video. Different time-changes for the multiple time-split video panes causes the time-split video to show different temporal parts of the video at the same time.

Systems and methods for dynamically generating music for videos
Music tracks may be selected to create an accompaniment for a video that matches the characteristics of the video. Video characteristics may be used to generate personalized soundtracks to provide more impactful/engaging video edits. Video characteristics may be used to create the arrangement of the music to provide accompaniment for the video. Music tracks may be associated with different music elements (e.g., intro, outro, verse, chorus, bridge, drop, break, hook, refrain), and different parts of the video may be assigned to particular music elements based on the characteristics of the video. Music track(s) corresponding to the assigned music elements may be selected for different parts of the video. The music tracks may be automatically selected to generate an accompaniment that matches the video. Effects may be added to the video and/or the selected music tracks to highlight moments (e.g., interesting moments, high action moments) in the video.
Visual content of image(s)/video frame(s) may be captured through a lens of an image capture device. The optical characteristics of the lens may determine the field of view of the visual content and the distortion present within the visual content. Multiple selectable lenses may be provided to a user to modify the visual content. Multiple selectable lenses may include distortion consistency and field of view consistency between various selectable lenses. The visual content may be modified based on the selected lens to simulate capture of the visual content through the selected lens.
A spherical video depicting a scene including one or more human subjects is obtained. Gaze direction(s) of the human subjects are used to determine how the spherical video will be framed for presentation. Based on the gaze direction(s) passing through a center of the spherical video, the spherical video is framed to include the spatial extent that depicts the human subject(s). Based on the gaze direction(s) not passing through the center of the spherical video, the spherical video is framed to include the spatial extent that depicts a portion of the scene looked at by the human subject(s).
A wide field of view video is split into multiple perspective projections, with individual perspective projections providing a two-dimensional view of a spatial extent of the wide field of view video. Object detection is performed within individual perspective projections to determine the placement of the objects within individual perspective projections. The placement of the objects are projected back into the wide field of view video to merge the detections. Redundant detection are filtered out and the remaining detections are used to perform object tracking in the wide field of view video.
A graphical user interface may provide multiple views of a spherical video at the same time. The multiple views of the spherical video may include a front view and a rear view of the spherical video. The extent of the spherical video included within the front view may be controlled by the user. The extent of the spherical video included within the rear view may be automatically determined based on the extent of the spherical video included within the front view. The extent of the spherical video included within the rear view may be automatically determined to include the extent of the spherical video opposite the extent included within the front view.
