Automated seamless video loop

A computer-implemented method for generating a video loop of frames, comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of frames;
• generating a video loop that loops at least a portion of the frames according to a video loop sequence, wherein the video loop sequence is determined from one or more loop parameters;
• determining, after generating the video loop, one or more dynamism metrics indicative of a level of activity within the video loop, wherein the one or more dynamism metrics are based on a variability metric and a dynamic range metric for a plurality of pixels within the video loop;
• automatically comparing the one or more dynamism metrics to one or more postgate threshold values to evaluate the level of activity within the video loop, wherein at least one of the one or more postgate threshold values indicates a designated activity level and is associated with a selected amount of area within the video loop;
• and
• exporting the video loop based on a determination that the level of activity within the video loop satisfies the one or more postgate threshold values.

An electronic device comprising:

• an image sensor;
• a memory operatively coupled to the image sensor;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory and the image sensor, wherein the one or more processors are programmed to:
• obtain a plurality of frames;
• generate a video loop that loops at least a portion of the frames according to a video loop sequence, wherein the video loop sequence is determined from one or more loop parameters;
• determine, after generating the video loop, one or more dynamism metrics indicative of a level of activity within the video loop, wherein the one or more dynamism metrics are based on a variability metric and a dynamic range metric for a plurality of pixels within the video loop;
• compare, without user input, the one or more dynamism metrics to one or more postgate threshold values to evaluate the level of activity within the video loop, wherein at least one of the one or more postgate threshold values indicates a designated activity level and is associated with a selected amount of area within the video loop;
• and
• playback the video loop based on a determination that the level of activity within the video loop satisfies the one or more postgate threshold values.
