Rotation-Controlled Non-Linear Timelapse Videos - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107131 titled 'Rotation-Controlled Non-Linear Timelapse Videos
Simplified Explanation
Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to perform intelligent determinations of non-linear (i.e., dynamic) image recording rates for the production of improved timelapse videos. The techniques described may be especially applicable to timelapse videos captured over long durations of time and/or with varying amounts of device motion/scene detail change over the course of the captured video (e.g., when a user is walking, exercising, driving, etc. during the video's capture). By smoothly varying the image recording rate of the timelapse video in accordance with estimates of device motion, the quality of the produced timelapse video may be improved (e.g., fewer long stretches of the video with no action or too little action, as well as fewer stretches of the video where there is so much rapid action in the timelapse video that it is difficult for a viewer to perceive what is happening in the video).
- Intelligent determinations of non-linear image recording rates
- Applicable to timelapse videos captured over long durations of time
- Varying amounts of device motion/scene detail change
- Smoothly varying image recording rate based on estimates of device motion
- Improved quality of timelapse videos
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as:
- Film and video production
- Surveillance and security
- Sports and action photography
- Tourism and travel documentation
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following issues:
- Inconsistent image recording rates in timelapse videos
- Lack of action or too much rapid action in timelapse videos
- Difficulty in perceiving events in timelapse videos
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced quality of timelapse videos
- Improved viewer experience
- More accurate representation of events over time
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Software development for timelapse video editing
- Integration into cameras and recording devices
- Licensing to video production companies
- Implementation in mobile applications for timelapse video creation
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of manual adjustments in timelapse video recording to account for varying scene details and motion. However, the disclosed technology automates this process based on intelligent determinations of image recording rates.
