Apparatus, system and method for processing and transferring captured video data

Additive video recording

A camera with a moving image (video) mode and a still image recording mode is arranged to save acquired video data in the same directory as an associated still image (thumbnail image). When new video data is acquired, a determination is made to decide whether a pre-existing video file exists in a specific directory. If it does, the new video data is additively recorded (i.e. appended) to the existing file such that the combined data result in a continuous file available for playback. An associated still image is recorded in the same directory. The additively recorded file and still image file are either saved together in the specific directory or in a newly created directory, dependent upon the available file space identified in the directory.

An apparatus, a method and a computer program for video coding and decoding

Described embodiments include methods and techniques for creating media container files. An exemplary method comprises steps wherein, instead of estimating the size of a media segment header based on the segment duration, identified media data boxes are used. In the method, an identified media data element is written in a container file. Included into the identified data element, an identifier is used as a reference for the identified media data of the segment by other elements. The identifier can be a first movie fragment sequence number, or a first track fragment decode time.

MULTI-DIRECTIONAL STRUCTURED IMAGE ARRAY CAPTURE ON A 2D GRAPH

This present disclosure relates to systems and processes for capturing an unstructured light field in a plurality of images. In particular embodiments, a plurality of keypoints are identified on a first keyframe in a plurality of captured images. A first convex hull is computed from all keypoints in the first keyframe and merged with previous convex hulls corresponding to previous keyframes to form a convex hull union. Each keypoint is tracked from the first keyframe to a second image. The second image is adjusted to compensate for camera rotation during capture, and a second convex hull is computed from all keypoints in the second image. If the overlapping region between the second convex hull and the convex hull union is equal to, or less than, a predetermined size, the second image is designated as a new keyframe, and the convex hull union is augmented with the second convex hull. 120-.
