Abstract
A camera for facilitating autonomous picture production includes an imager for capturing an image stream, a signal processor for processing the image stream into a plurality of image data paths, at least one image stream output, and a memory for cyclically buffering images of at least two of the plurality of image data paths, into separate circular buffers, respectively, and for buffering one or more output image streams of the camera. A camera for facilitating autonomous picture production produces a standard resolution and rate image stream and a slow-motion image stream of an action of interest.
Claims17
A camera for autonomous picture production, comprising:
- an imager configured to generate an image stream;
- a memory;
- and
- a signal processor communicably coupled with the memory and configured to:
- process the image stream into a plurality of image data paths, each of the plurality of image data paths having a different combination of resolution and frame rate,
- cyclically buffer, in the memory, images of two or more of the plurality of image data paths, and
- output, from the memory and in response to a notification indicating that an event of interest has occurred, at least one of the cyclically-buffered images captured during a period of the event of interest.
