Abstract:
An automated video editing system uses user inputs and metadata combined with machine learning technology to gradually improve editing techniques as more footage is edited. The system is designed to work primarily with a network of automated video recording systems that use cooperative tracking methods. The system is also designed to improve tracking algorithms used in cooperative tracking and to enable systems to begin using image recognition based tracking when the results of machine learning are utilized.
Abstract:
A waterproof electronic device with a soft polymer embedding enclosure configured to seal components embedded in the soft polymer embedding enclosure from water by direct contact of the soft polymer embedding enclosure with the components, and including an embedded microswitch operated by pressing on an outer surface of the soft polymer embedding enclosure. The apparatus may be built using various degrees of integration of its components.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the automatic pointing of a pointing device, such as a camera, without the assistance of a person who operates the camera. Systems and methods are disclosed wherein the system is substantially stationary during recording but is portable to the venue of recording. For the purpose of recording, the camera turns automatically to optically follow the person, animal, or object that is being recorded. The present invention provides for high quality video recording; the high quality video recording here refers to features of the inventive systems and methods that provide for smooth camera motion necessary to take enjoyable videos for personal or for commercial use. This invention provides a portable system that automatically records videos from the vantage point of a sports fan, of a spectator or of a competition judge.
