Claims18
An image capture device comprising:
- a housing;
- an image sensor carried by the housing and configured to generate an output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content;
- an optical element carried by the housing and configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor;
- and
- one or more physical processors carried by the housing, the one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- identify a depiction of interest within the visual content, the depiction of interest occurring during a moment of interest;
- determine a number of images to be generated from the visual content based on classification of an activity and classification of an action within the visual content during the moment of interest;
- and
- generate the number of images from the visual content based on the depiction of interest, the number images that are generated including one or more portions of the visual content including the depiction of interest.
A method for generating images, the method performed by an image capture device including an image sensor configured to generate an output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content, the method comprising:
- identifying a depiction of interest within the visual content, the depiction of interest occurring during a moment of interest;
- determining a number of images to be generated from the visual content based on classification of an activity and classification of an action within the visual content during the moment of interest;
- and
- generating the number of images from the visual content based on the depiction of interest, the number of images that are generated including one or more portions of the visual content including the depiction of interest.
