A camcorder ( 100 ), which is an example of image capturing devices, includes the following units. An imaging unit ( 110 ) captures moving pictures. An attribute information generation unit ( 120 ) generates attribute information indicating features of the moving pictures captured by the imaging unit ( 110 ). An evaluation unit ( 130 ) applies the attribute information generated by the attribute information generation unit ( 120 ) to a predetermined criterion, so as to calculate an evaluation value of the moving pictures for each predetermined time width. A still picture extraction unit ( 140 ) extracts a still picture from moving pictures in a predetermined time width, when the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit ( 130 ) for the predetermined time width exceeds an evaluation threshold value. A threshold value change unit ( 150 ) changes the evaluation threshold value based on at least one of person information and a composition change amount which are included in the attribute information. The person information is used for specifying a person captured in the moving pictures, and the composition change amount is an amount of change in image compositions between the moving pictures.

A content preview of a content item is generated by extracting one or more clips from the content item, each clip is identified using a clipping point, a clip duration, a starting point, which is identified using the clipping point, and an ending point, which is identified using the clip's starting point and clipping duration. By way of a non-limiting example, shot boundaries are identified within the content item, the clip's starting point is identified to be the shot boundary before and closest to the clip's clipping point, the clip's ending point is identified to be the shot boundary after and closest to the clip's starting point plus clip duration. In a case that multiple clips are generated for the content preview, the clips are multiplexed to form the content preview. In a case that the content item comprises different types of content, such as audio and video content, the audio and video content is extracted from the content item for each clip, and synchronized to form the clip.

At the same time, a carrier signal generator generates a carrier signal which is to carry the address information, and supplies it to the modulator. In step S 2 , the modulator makes MSK modulation of the carrier signal supplied from the carrier signal generator on the basis of the pre-encoded address information supplied from the address generator, and supplies a resultant MSK modulation signal to a wobbling unit. In step S 3 , the wobbling unit forms, on the optical disc, a spiral groove wobbled adaptively to the MSK modulation signal supplied from the modulator. In this optical disc, a given address can be accessed quickly and accurately.

A near-parallax value is also calculated based on the focal length and the minimum scene depth. Calculating the near-parallax value includes selecting a baseline stereo-setting entry from a set of stereo-setting entries, each stereo-setting entry of the set of baseline stereo-setting entries includes a recommended scene depth, a recommended focal length, and a recommended near-parallax value. For the selected baseline stereo-setting entry: the recommended scene depth corresponds to the minimum scene depth, and the recommended focal length corresponds to the focal length. The near-parallax value and far-parallax value are stored as the bounded-parallax constraints for the placement of the pair of stereoscopic cameras.

Принадлежит:

This invention relates to a device and a method of generating a first and a second fingerprint () usable for synchronisation of at least two signals () and corresponding method and device for synchronising two or more signals. A fingerprint pair is generated on the basis of a segment of a first signal e.g. an audio signal and of a segment of a second signal e.g. a video signal at each synchronisation time point. The generated fingerprint pair(s) are stored in a database () and communicated or distributed to a synchronisation device (). During synchronisation, fingerprint(s) of the audio signal and fingerprint(s) of the video signal to be synchronised are generated and matched against fingerprints in the database. When a match is found, the fingerprints also determine the synchronisation time point, which is used to synchronise the two signals. In this way, a simple, reliable and efficient way of synchronising at least two signals is obtained. Further, this is enabled without modifying either the first and second signal (or subsequent signals). The signals may even be distorted or changed to some extent while still enabling synchronisation. 1. A method comprising:accessing a first fingerprint associated with a first signal;accessing a second fingerprint associated with a second signal, the first fingerprint and the second fingerprint forming a fingerprint pair that includes information to identify a first point within the first signal and a second point within the second signal at which the first and second signals are synchronized relative to each other;using a processor, processing a search configured to find a first match to the first fingerprint among first fingerprints generated from the first signal and find a second match to the second fingerprint among second fingerprints generated from the second signal, the first match and the second match forming a match pair that indicates an offset by which the first point and the second point differ; andcompensating for ...

With the widespread availability of video cameras, we are facing an ever-growing enormous collection of unedited and unstructured video data. Due to lack of an automatic way to generate highlights from this large collection of video streams, these videos can be tedious and time consuming to index or search. The present invention is a novel method of online video highlighting, a principled way of generating a short video highlight summarizing the most important and interesting contents of a potentially very long video, which is costly both time-wise and financially for manual processing. Specifically, the method learns a dictionary from given video using group sparse coding, and updates atoms in the dictionary on-the-fly. A highlight of the given video is then generated by combining segments that cannot be sparsely reconstructed using the learned dictionary. The online fashion of the method enables it to process arbitrarily long videos and starts generating highlights before seeing the end of the video, both attractive characteristics for practical applications. 1. A system for extracting video highlights from a video stream comprising:a. storage, containing said video stream in digital form; and i. breaking said video stream into segments containing a preset number of frames;', 'ii. reading an initial plurality of segments and constructing a dictionary based on said plurality of segments, said dictionary containing data summarizing the content of said initial plurality of segments;', 'iii. reading the next segment from said video stream;', 'iv. determining if the content of said next segment is represented in said dictionary and, if so, excluding said next segment from said video highlights; otherwise, adding said next segment to said video highlights;', 'v. updating said dictionary when segments are added to said video highlights to reflect a summary of the content of said added segment; and', 'vi. repeating steps iii.-iv. until all segments in said video stream ...
