    Abstract: Image capture devices and methods may be used to pre-buffer media storage. The pre-buffering method includes recording an image capture segment in a circular buffer. The circular buffer includes a number of recordable segments. The pre-buffering method includes determining whether a key moment command is received. If a key moment command is not received, the method includes recording a next image capture segment in a next adjacent recordable segment of the circular buffer if the next adjacent recordable segment of the predetermined number of recordable segments is available. If a key moment command is not received, the method includes overwriting an oldest recordable segment if the next adjacent recordable segment of the predetermined number of recordable segments is not available. If a key moment command is received, the pre-buffering method includes marking a wrap point in the circular buffer and switching from recording in the circular buffer to linear recording.

    Abstract: Cameras may monitor its operation and automatically switch between operation modes thereby to best capture users' experiences. Auxiliary sensor data collected by the one or more sensors and/or captured image data may be analyzed to determine when a camera should switch to a different operation mode. The auxiliary sensor data and/or the content of the captured images may include motion information indicating whether the camera or the captured scene has relatively high-motion, relatively low-motion, or no motion. Event(s) may be detected by analyzing the auxiliary sensor data and/or analyzing captured image data, and preferred operation mode(s) suitable for capturing the events can be determined. Each preferred operation mode may be associated with a confidence value. A camera may switch to a preferred operation mode for capturing an event if the event is determined with high confidence to take place at a time point.

    Abstract translation: 相机可以监视其操作并自动切换操作模式,从而最好地捕捉用户的体验。 可以分析由一个或多个传感器和/或捕获的图像数据收集的辅助传感器数据,以确定相机何时切换到不同的操作模式。 辅助传感器数据和/或捕获图像的内容可以包括指示相机或所捕获的场景是相对高运动,相对低运动还是不运动的运动信息。 可以通过分析辅助传感器数据和/或分析捕获的图像数据来检测事件,并且可以确定适于捕获事件的优选操作模式。 每个优选操作模式可以与置信度值相关联。 如果以高置信度确定事件在时间点发生,相机可以切换到优选操作模式以捕获事件。

    Abstract: An image captured using an image sensor is processed to determine control statistics and to produce an altered image which can be output for display or further processing at an image capture device, and the image is then processed according to the control statistics to produce a processed image which can be output for display or further processing at the image capture device or at another device. The altered image may have a lower resolution than the processed image. The image may be stored in a buffer. For example, the image may be retrieved from the buffer to produce the altered image, and again retrieved from the buffer to produce the processed image. The altered image may replace the image within the buffer. For example, the processed image may be produced to represent the altered image at a higher resolution.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for night lapse video capture are disclosed. The apparatus includes an image sensor, an image processor, and a video encoder. The image sensor is configured to capture image data. The image data includes a first image that is temporally precedent to a second image. The image processor is configured to determine a motion estimation. The motion estimation is based on a comparison of a portion of the first image and a portion of the second image. The image processor is configured to subtract a mask from the second image to obtain a denoised image. The mask is based on the motion estimation. The video encoder is configured to receive the denoised image from the image processor. The video encoder is configured to encode the denoised image in a video format. The video encoder is configured to output a video file in the video format.
