Abstract
Disclosed in some examples is a method of guided video capture, the method including identifying a video capture template, the video capture template including a plurality of target video parameters, each of the target video parameters corresponding to one of a plurality of video capture directions; while capturing video, selecting a video capture direction from the plurality of video capture directions based on video parameters of captured video and the plurality of target video parameters using a processor and presenting the selected video capture direction to a user on a display device.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- identifying, for an object, prior to capturing and storing a video of the object, a video capture template that includes a plurality of video segments, each video segment including a target video parameter and a video capture direction;
- while capturing and storing the video of the object, determining a video parameter of the video of the object being captured and stored, the video parameter comprising an elapsed time measured from a start time of the captured and stored video of the object;
- using the determined video parameter to select, while the video of the object is being captured and stored using one or more hardware processors, a video segment from the plurality of video segments of the video capture template that is associated with the elapsed time of the determined video parameter measured from the start time of the captured and stored video of the object, each of the video segments of the plurality of video segments being associated with a different elapsed time;
- and
- presenting the video capture direction of the selected video segment while the video of the object is being captured and stored.
A video capture device comprising:
- one or more hardware processors and memory circuitry configured to provide computer program instructions to the one or more hardware processors to execute operations comprising:
- identifying, for an object, prior to capturing and storing a video of the object, a video capture template having a plurality of video segments, each video segment including a target video parameter and a video capture direction;
- while capturing and storing the video of the object, determining a video parameter of the video of the object being captured and stored the video parameter comprising an elapsed time measured from a start time of the captured and stored video of the object;
- using the determined video parameter to select, while the video is being captured and stored, a video segment from the plurality of video segments of the video capture template that is associated with the elapsed time of the determined video parameter measured from the start time of the captured and stored video of the object, each of the video segments of the plurality of video segments being associated with a different elapsed time;
- and
- presenting the video capture direction of the selected video segment while the video of the object is being captured and stored.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores instructions which when performed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- identifying, for an object, prior to capturing and storing a video of the object, a video capture template that includes a plurality of video segments;
- each video segment including a target video parameter and a video capture direction;
- while capturing and storing the video of the object, determining a video parameter of the video of the object being captured and stored, the video parameter comprising an elapsed time measured from a start time of the captured and stored video of the object;
- using the determined video parameter to select, while the video is being captured and stored, a video segment from the plurality of video segments of the video capture template that is associated with the elapsed time of the determined video parameter measured from the start time of the captured and stored video of the object, each of the video segments of the plurality of video segments being associated with a different elapsed time;
- and
- presenting the video capture direction of the selected video segment while the video of the object is being captured and stored.
