Microvideo System, Format, and Method of Generation

An image capture device comprising:

• an image sensor operable to capture raw image data;
• an image signal processor configured to process the raw image data to form a plurality of image frames, wherein the image signal processor comprises one or more hardware blocks;
• one or more motion sensing sensors that provide sensor data indicative of motion of the image sensor or the image capture device;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a microvideo generation system implemented by the one or more processors, wherein the microvideo generation system is configured to generate a microvideo, the microvideo comprising both a still image and a video in a same data file;
• wherein the microvideo generation system performs an image selection algorithm to select the still image;
• and
• wherein the video is an input to the image selection algorithm to select the still image.

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• generating, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, a microvideo, the microvideo comprising both a still image and a video in a same data file;
• performing, by the computing system, an image selection algorithm to select the still image;
• and
• inputting, by the computing system, the video to the image selection algorithm to select the still image.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• generating, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, a microvideo, the microvideo comprising both a still image and a video in a same data file;
• performing, by the computing system, an image selection algorithm to select the still image;
• and
• inputting, by the computing system, the video to the image selection algorithm to select the still image.
