    Abstract: A method provides capturing successive video image frames with an imaging device to generate a video. Processing the successive video image frames to determine positions of multiple subjects with the successive video image frames. Obtaining information for the multiple subjects from one or more sensors physically attached to respective ones of the multiple subjects. Determining a region of interest containing the multiple subjects in the successive video image frames of the video. Obtaining additional video image frames that include the multiple subjects. Processing the additional video image frames so that the one or more multiple subjects are maintained within the additional video image frames. Identifying a single subject out of the multiple subjects within the additional video image frames. Providing live videos that include the single subject to a sharing service via an application in communication with the imaging device regarding the single subject.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include determining an orientation setpoint for an image sensor; based on a sequence of orientation estimates for the image sensor and the orientation setpoint, invoking a mechanical stabilization system to adjust an orientation of the image sensor toward the orientation setpoint; receiving an image from the image sensor; determining an orientation error between the orientation of the image sensor and the orientation setpoint during capture of the image; based on the orientation error, invoking an electronic image stabilization module to correct the image for a rotation corresponding to the orientation error to obtain a stabilized image; and storing, displaying, or transmitting an output image based on the stabilized image.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining predicted risk for a flight path of an unmanned aerial vehicle. A previously stored three-dimensional representation of a user-selected location may be obtained. The three-dimensional representation may be derived from depth maps of the user-selected location generated during previous unmanned aerial vehicle flights. The three-dimensional representation may reflect a presence of objects and object existence accuracies for the individual objects. The object existence accuracies for the individual objects may provide information about accuracy of existence of the individual objects within the user-selected location. A user-created flight path may be obtained for a future unmanned aerial flight within the three-dimensional representation of the user-selected location. Predicted risk may be determined for individual portions of the user-created flight path based upon the three-dimensional representation of the user-selected location.

    Abstract: Controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle may include obtaining a first image from a fixed orientation image capture device of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtaining a second image from an adjustable orientation image capture device of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtaining feature correlation data based on the first image and the second image, obtaining relative image capture device orientation calibration data based on the feature correlation data, the relative image capture device orientation calibration data indicating an orientation of the adjustable orientation image capture device relative to the fixed orientation image capture device, obtaining relative object orientation data based on the relative image capture device orientation calibration data, the relative object orientation data representing a three-dimensional orientation of an external object relative to the adjustable orientation image capture device, and controlling a trajectory of the unmanned aerial vehicle in response to the relative object orientation data.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for calibrating a magnetometer. The method comprises responsive to a determination that a magnetic inclination is less than a threshold, measuring first magnetic field data by detecting a magnetic field with the magnetometer through a first rotation path, measuring second magnetic field data by detecting the magnetic field with the magnetometer through a second rotation path, and determining calibration values for the magnetometer based on the measured first magnetic field data and the measured second magnetic field data.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for calibrating a magnetometer of a compass. With a global navigation satellite system receiver, a current position is determined. The determined position is used to determine a magnetic inclination (e.g., by a global magnetic field model such as the World Magnetic Model). The calibration system may perform different calibration sequences based on the magnetic inclination. In a first calibration sequence, performed responsive to a determination that a magnetic inclination (or the absolute value of the magnetic inclination) is less than a threshold, magnetic field data is measured by the magnetometer as it is rotated through horizontal rotation paths. If the magnetic inclination is greater than the threshold, magnetic field data is measured by the magnetometer as it is rotated through vertical rotation paths. The measured magnetic field data may be used to determine calibration values for the magnetometer compass.
