Subject tracking systems for a movable imaging system

A method comprising:

• capturing successive video image frames of multiple subjects to generate a video comprising the multiple subjects with an image capture device;
• processing the successive video image frames to determine positions of the multiple subjects within the successive video image frames;
• obtaining information for the multiple subjects from one or more motion sensors physically attached to respective ones of the multiple subjects;
• locating the multiple subjects in the successive video image frames according to the information from the one or more motion sensors physically attached to the multiple subjects and information from the video image frames that were previously captured;
• determining a region of interest containing the multiple subjects in the successive video image frames;
• locating a first subject out of the multiple subjects according to the information from the one or more motion sensors physically attached to the multiple subjects;
• determining the first subject is within the region of interest at a time based upon the video image frames that were previously captured;
• framing the first subject within future video image frames automatically or semiautomatically by adjusting the imaging device based upon the one or more motion sensors physically attached to the multiple subjects;
• obtaining additional video image frames at a subsequent time with the image capture device;
• processing the region of interest of the video image frames to locate the multiple subjects individually;
• identifying the first subject that was located individually within the additional video image frames;
• processing the additional video image frames so that one or more of the multiple subjects are maintained within the additional video image frames;
• providing live videos that include the first subject to a sharing service via an application in communication with the image capture device;
• switching focus from the first subject to a second subject out of the multiple subjects;
• storing, in a storage module, the successive video image frames including the first subject at the time;
• and
• storing a corresponding metadata track with the successive video image frames.

An imaging system comprising:

• a platform;
• an imaging device in communication with the platform and configured to capture successive video image frames that form a video;
• and
• motion sensors associated with multiple subjects and the imaging device, wherein the imaging device is configured to:
• process the successive video image frames to determine positions of the multiple subjects within the successive video image frames;
• obtain information for the multiple subjects from the motion sensors physically attached to respective ones of the multiple subjects;
• maintain the multiple subjects in the video image frames by locating a region of interest for additional video image frames of the multiple subjects;
• locate a first subject of the multiple subjects according to information from the motion sensors;
• determine the first subject is within the region of interest at a time based upon previously captured video image frames;
• frame the first subject within future video image frames automatically or semi-automatically by adjusting the imaging device based upon the information from the motion sensors;
• obtain additional video image frames that include the multiple subjects;
• process the additional video image frames so that one or more of the multiple subjects are maintained within the additional video image frames;
• identify the first subject out of the multiple subjects within the additional video image frames;
• provide live videos that include the first subject to a sharing service via an application in communication with the imaging device;
• and
• switch focus from the first subject to a second subject out of the multiple subjects, a storage module configured to store the successive video image frames including the first subject at the time and a corresponding metadata track.
