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.
Systems and methods are described for strobed light for enhanced video capture. For example, some methods include accessing a first frame of video that is captured while an artificial light source is emitting light; accessing a second frame of video that is captured while the artificial light source is off; determining a parameter based on the second frame of video; and modifying the first frame of video based on the parameter. The artificial light source may be configured to emit light in a strobe pattern that is synchronized with periodic capture of frames of video using the image sensor. For example, the parameter may be a tuple of automatic white balance scale factors or a luminance scale factor.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRONIC IMAGE STABILIZATION BASED ON A LENS POLYNOMIAL
Methods and apparatus for stabilizing image data based on a lens polynomial. Non-rectilinear footage can be captured and rectified in-camera; the rectified images may be stabilized to provide rectified stable video. In one exemplary embodiment, the footage is rectified and stabilized based on a lens polynomial and the camera's own movement. In some variants, the rectified stable video may be stored along with its margin track. In-camera rectified stable video provides several benefits over traditional techniques (e.g., the ability to share rectilinear content from the camera without additional post-processing, as well as reduced file sizes of the shared videos). Lens-aware post-processing can reuse portions of the in-camera rectified stable videos while providing additional benefits (e.g., the ability to re-frame the video in post-production).

Systems, apparatus, and methods for dynamic encoder configuration. In one exemplary embodiment, a machine-learning model uses pixel features and encoding features from previous stages of an image processing pipeline (IPP) to dynamically adjust bitrate. The machine-learning model is trained to select bitrate adjustments for an encoder such that the expected image quality of a video stream remains at a selected quality level (e.g., SSIM, VMAF, VIF, HVS-PSNR, etc.). Conventional dynamic encoding solutions are focused on encode-once-deliver-often (best-effort) applications, the exemplary IPP is designed for real-time applications that may not have the benefit of actual subsequent encoding quality analysis; instead proxy data (pixel features and encoding features) that are representative approximations of image complexity are used.

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.

A video may include a capture of a scene, such as a wide-field of view capture of the scene. Context of the video may be assessed and used to suggest framing of the video. The framing of the video may be presented within a user interface. A user may select, through the user interface, the framing to be used in generating presentation of the video.

An image capture device may be moved while capturing a distance-lapse video. Distance traveled by the image capture device may be used to determine when video frames of the distance-lapse video are generated. Video frames of the distance-lapse video may be generated when the image capture device travels over a certain amount of distance. Distance interval, rather than time interval, may be used to generate the distance-lapse video.
