Method, apparatus, computational equipment, and storage medium for video capture

A method for capturing video, the method performed by at least one processor and comprising:

• during a process of capturing video content by a recording equipment, based on detecting missing-object content in which a target object is not included in a frame, decreasing a zoom factor of the recording equipment and obtaining a post-decrease zoom factor, wherein the decreasing the zoom factor includes using video content recorded prior to the missing-object content to obtain information regarding a location of the target object, a timestamp of the video content recorded prior to the missing-object content being earlier than a timestamp of the missing-object content;
• based on the location information obtained for the target object, adjusting a recording equipment's capturing direction,
• obtaining a post-adjustment recording direction of the recording equipment;
• based on the target object being located at a left boundary of the frame in the previously recorded video content, adjusting the recording equipment's capturing direction based on the left boundary position;
• and
• based on the target object being located at a right boundary of the frame in the previously recorded video content, adjusting the recording equipment's capturing direction based on the right boundary position;
• performing reidentification of the target object based on the post-adjustment recording direction and continuing to capture video content with the target object included in the frame based on an adjustment recording direction.

An apparatus comprising:

• a gimbal device configured to hold a recording equipment;
• at least one memory configured to store program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to operate according to the program code, the program code including:
• communication code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to communicate with the recording equipment and receive information from the recording equipment based on a captured video stream having a target object, wherein the recording equipment automatically decreases a zoom factor upon detecting that the target object is missing from the captured video stream;
• and
• direction control code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to automatically change a direction of the recording equipment based on the received information, in cooperation with the recording equipment while the recording equipment decreases the zoom factor, in order to relocate the missing object target object.

A gimbal device configured to hold a mobile phone, comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to operate according to the program code, the program code including:
• communication code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to communicate with the mobile phone and receive information from the mobile phone based on a captured video stream having a target object, wherein the mobile phone automatically decreases a zoom factor upon detecting that the target object is missing from the captured video stream;
• and
• direction control code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to automatically change a direction of the mobile phone based on the received information, in cooperation with the mobile phone while the mobile phone decreases the zoom factor, in order to relocate the missing object target object.
