Abstract
An image capture device may automatically capture images. An image sensor may generate visual content based on light that becomes incident thereon. A depiction of interest within the visual content may be identified, and one or more images may be generated to include one or more portions of the visual content including the depiction of interest.
Claims20
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:
- generate a video including the visual content, the video having a progress length;
- determine a number of depictions of interest within the visual content;
- determine a number of images to be generated from the visual content based on the number of depictions of interest within the visual content and the progress length of the video;
- and
- generate the number of images from the visual content.
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:
- generating a video including the visual content, the video having a progress length;
- determining a number of depictions of interest within the visual content;
- determining a number of images to be generated from the visual content based on the number of depictions of interest within the visual content and the progress length of the video;
- and
- generating the number of images from the visual content.

- determine a number of images to be generated from the visual content based on the number of depictions of interest within the visual content and the progress length of the video;
- and
- generate the number of images from the visual content, the number images that are generated including one or more portions of the visual content including the one or more identified depictions of interest, wherein the images generated from the visual content are provided as preview of the video, the images generated from the visual content including one or more portions of the visual content including the depictions of interest.
