Abstract: An image capture apparatus may include an image sensor, a motion sensor, and an auto-exposure unit. The auto-exposure unit may obtain an input image captured during an exposure interval and corresponding motion data indicating motion of the image capture apparatus during the exposure interval. The auto-exposure unit may obtain image information-amount data for the input image. The auto-exposure unit may obtain derivative information-amount data based on the information-amount data and a candidate exposure adjustment. The auto-exposure unit may obtain an information-amount maximizing exposure interval based on the information-amount data and the derivative information-amount data. The image capture apparats may control the image sensor to obtain a subsequent input image signal representing a subsequent input image captured during the information-amount maximizing exposure interval, and output or store information representing the subsequent input image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying image distortion (curvature) for viewing distance in post capture. Presentation of imaging content on a content display device may be characterized by a presentation field of view (FOV). Presentation FOV may be configured based on screen dimensions of the display device and distance between the viewer and the screen. Imaging content may be obtained by an activity capture device characterized by a wide capture field of view lens (e.g., fish-eye). Images may be transformed into rectilinear representation for viewing. When viewing images using presentation FOV that may narrower than capture FOV, transformed rectilinear images may appear distorted. A transformation operation may be configured to account for presentation FOV—capture FOV mismatch. In some implementations, the transformation may include fish-eye to rectilinear transformation characterized by a transformation strength that may be configured based on a ratio of the presentation FOV to the capture FOV.

A video summary including the selected flexible video segments may be generated.

An image sensor captures the image according to the selected camera mode.

Abstract: An image capture device may capture video frames while experiencing motion. The video frames may be stored in a visual track, and rotational positions of the image capture device may be stored in a rotational position track. The visual track and the rotational position track may not be temporally aligned. A looping stabilized view of the view frames and a synchronization adjustment option may be presented on a display. The synchronization adjustment option may enable user modification of timing of the rotational positions stored within the rotational position track. Timing modification of the rotational positions may cause changes in the looping stabilized view, which may be used as feedback on whether the synchronization between the visual track and the rotational position track is being improved or not by the timing modification of the rotational positions.
