Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods that use and/or generate image files according to a novel microvideo image format. For example, a microvideo can be a file that contains both a still image and a brief video. The microvideo can include multiple tracks, such as, for example, a separate video track, audio track, and/or one or more metadata tracks. As one example track, the microvideo can include a motion data track that stores motion data that can be used (e.g., at file runtime) to stabilize the video frames. A microvideo generation system included in an image capture device can determine a trimming of the video on-the-fly as the image capture device captures the microvideo.
Claims21
An image capture device comprising:
- an image sensor configured to capture raw image data;
- an image signal processor configured to process the raw image data to form a plurality of image frames;
- and
- one or more processors to implement a microvideo generation system which is configured to:
- generate a microvideo comprising a still image and a video in a same data file, and
- perform an image selection algorithm to select the still image, wherein the video is an input to the image selection algorithm to select the still image.
2-20. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- generating, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, a microvideo comprising a still image and a video in a same data file;
- and
- performing, by the computing system, an image selection algorithm to select the still image, wherein the video is an input 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 a microvideo comprising a still image and a video in a same data file;
- and
- performing an image selection algorithm to select the still image, wherein the video is an input to the image selection algorithm to select the still image.
