Abstract
A video may be captured by an image capture device in motion. A horizon-leveled view of the video may be generated by providing a punchout of the video. The punchout of the video may compensate for rotation of the image capture device during capture of the video. The placement of the punchout of the video may be changed based on different rotational positions of to provide a view in which a horizon depicted within the video is leveled.
Claims20
A system for horizon leveling videos, the system comprising:
- one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- obtain video information defining a video, the video including visual content captured by an image capture device during a capture duration, the visual content having a progress length, the visual content having a field of view;
- obtain rotational position information for the video, the rotational position information characterizing rotational positions of the image capture device as a function of progress through the capture duration;
- determine placement of a viewing window within the field of view of the visual content as a function of progress through the progress length based on the rotational positions of the image capture device as the function of progress through the capture duration, the viewing window defining extents of the visual content to be included within horizon-leveled visual content as the function of progress through the progress length;
- and
- generate the horizon-leveled visual content to include the extents of the visual content defined by the viewing window, wherein inclusion of the extents of the visual content defined by the viewing window within the horizon-leveled visual content effectuates horizon leveling of the visual content.

A method for horizon leveling videos, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the computing system, video information defining a video, the video including visual content captured by an image capture device during a capture duration, the visual content having a progress length, the visual content having a field of view;
- obtaining, by the computing system, rotational position information for the video, the rotational position information characterizing rotational positions of the image capture device as a function of progress through the capture duration;
- determining, by the computing system, placement of a viewing window within the field of view of the visual content as a function of progress through the progress length based on the rotational positions of the image capture device as the function of progress through the capture duration, the viewing window defining extents of the visual content to be included within horizon-leveled visual content as the function of progress through the progress length;
- and
- generating, by the computing system, the horizon-leveled visual content to include the extents of the visual content defined by the viewing window, wherein inclusion of the extents of the visual content defined by the viewing window within the horizon-leveled visual content effectuates horizon leveling of the visual content.

- and
- generate the horizon-leveled visual content to include the extents of the visual content defined by the viewing window, wherein inclusion of the extents of the visual content defined by the viewing window within the horizon-leveled visual content effectuates horizon leveling of the visual content.
