ADAPTIVE EXPOSURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240348933 titled 'ADAPTIVE EXPOSURE

Simplified Explanation: This patent application discusses methods to improve the appearance of captured video by addressing motion-induced blur, noise, lighting, and other factors related to video captured by moving wearable electronic devices.

• Dynamically adjusting exposure during video capture based on user motion to reduce camera motion blur.
• Increasing gain to maintain image brightness when exposure is reduced.
• Enhancing the overall quality of captured video by accounting for various factors affecting video appearance.

Potential Applications: 1. Enhancing the quality of videos captured by wearable electronic devices. 2. Improving the user experience of recording videos on the move. 3. Enhancing the overall visual appeal of video content captured in motion.

Problems Solved: 1. Motion-induced blur in videos captured by moving wearable electronic devices. 2. Inconsistencies in image brightness due to dynamic exposure adjustments. 3. Addressing noise and lighting issues in captured video content.

Benefits: 1. Improved video quality with reduced motion blur. 2. Consistent image brightness throughout the video. 3. Enhanced overall appearance of captured video content.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Video Enhancement Technology for Wearable Devices This technology can be applied in the development of wearable cameras for sports enthusiasts, vloggers, and professionals in various industries. It can also be integrated into security cameras and surveillance systems for improved video quality.

Questions about Video Enhancement Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the user experience of recording videos on wearable devices?

  - This technology significantly improves the quality of captured videos by reducing motion blur and maintaining consistent image brightness, enhancing the overall user experience.

2. What are the potential commercial implications of integrating this technology into wearable cameras?

  - By incorporating this technology, wearable cameras can offer higher-quality video output, making them more appealing to consumers in various industries.

Original Abstract Submitted

various implementations disclosed herein improve the appearance of captured video by accounting for motion-induced blur, noise, lighting, and/or other factors related to the appearance of video captured by rotating or otherwise moving wearable electronic device. some implementations reduce or eliminate camera motion blur during video capture by dynamically adjusting the exposure used to capture the video based on user motion. for example, exposure may be reduced to reduce the amount of blur during motion. since such a reduced exposure captures a lesser amount of light, gain may be increased such that the captured video maintains a relatively constant image brightness in spite of the changing exposure over time.
