Abstract
A method of capturing a photo using a mobile device is described. The method comprises detecting a signature motion of the mobile device; capturing video using a camera of the mobile device upon detecting the signature motion; and automatically identifying a start frame and an end frame of the captured images using neural networks. A mobile device for capturing a photo is also described.
Claims20
A method of capturing a video using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- detecting a signature motion of the mobile device, wherein the detection of the signature motion starts a video capture process;
- capturing video, using a camera of the mobile device, upon detecting the signature motion;
- determining whether frames of the captured video include a target of the video;
- automatically identifying, by a processor, at least one of a start frame and an end frame of the captured video based upon the determining whether frames of the captured video include a target of the video;
- analyzing, by the processor, frames of the captured video between the start frame and the end frame;
- and
- determining, by the processor, frames between the start frame and the end frame to be discarded, wherein a frame is determined to be discarded based upon a comparison of the frame to another frame of the captured video.
A mobile device for capturing a video, the mobile device comprising:
- a processor coupled to receive images from a camera, wherein the processor:
- detects a signature motion of the mobile device, wherein the detection of the signature motion starts a video capture process;
- captures video using the camera of the mobile device upon detecting the signature motion;
- determines whether frames of the captured video include a target of the video;
- automatically identifies a start frame and an end frame of the captured video based upon the determining whether frames of the captured video include a target of the video;
- analyzes frames of the captured video between the start frame and the end frame;
- and
- determines frames between the start frame and the end frame to be discarded, wherein a frame is determined to be discarded based upon a comparison of the frame to another frame of the captured video.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having data stored therein representing instructions executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- detecting a signature motion of a mobile device, wherein the signature motion starts a video capture process;
- capturing video using a camera of the mobile device upon detecting the signature motion;
- determining whether frames of the captured video include a target of the video;
- automatically identifying a start frame and an end frame of the captured video based upon the determining whether frames of the captured video include a target of the video;
- analyzing frames of the captured video between the start frame and the end frame;
- and
- determining frames between the start frame and the end frame to be discarded, wherein a frame is determined to be discarded based upon a comparison of the frame to another frame of the captured video.
