20160071541 | STORAGE AND EDITING OF VIDEO OF ACTIVITIES USING SENSOR AND TAG DATA OF PARTICIPANTS AND SPECTATORS - Video from multiple locations in a venue, in which multiple individuals are engaged in activities, such as athletic performances or non-sporting activities, is stored and edited, using sensor data from participants and tag data from spectators, to create individualized video programs of athletic performances of individuals. Each camera provides a video feed that is continuously stored. Each video feed is stored in a sequence of data files in computer storage, which data files are created in regular time intervals. Each file is accessible using an identifier of the camera and a time interval. Similarly, data from sensors and tagging devices are continuously received and stored in a database. The database stores, for each sensor, an identifier of each individual detected in the proximity of the sensor and the time at which the individual was detected. Each sensor is associated with one or more cameras. Tag data is similarly stored from tagging devices manipulated by spectators. | 03-10-2016 |
20160104045 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING COMBINED-SUMMARY IN IMAGING APPARATUS - A method and apparatus of providing a combined summary by receiving monitored audio and video are provided The method includes: receiving audio and video captured by at least one network camera; generating a video summary by detecting at least one video event from at least one of the audio and the video; generating an audio summary by detecting at least one audio event from at least one of the audio and the video; extracting at least one section of the video summary corresponding to the at least one audio event, and storing the extracted at least one section of the video summary with the audio summary; and providing a display of the video reproducing apparatus with a video summary control interface for controlling the video summary and an audio summary control interface for controlling the audio summary. | 04-14-2016 |
20160104510 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LOW COST TELEVISION PRODUCTION - It is provided a method for producing a stream of desired image frames derived from a panoramic capturing of a scene by an array of video cameras. The production is conducted by a coordinated operation at a venue proximate to the scene and at a production suite located remotely from the venue. The method includes a venue server recording a stream of raw video images captured simultaneously by the video-cameras, and converting the stream of raw video images at a first data rate to a stream of panoramic views at a second data rate. The second data rate is less than one third of the first data rate. The method further includes transmitting the stream of panoramic views to a remote production suite, and there selecting a stream of desired frames including respective regions of interest. The method further includes transmitting data on the stream of desired frames to the venue server, and the venue server producing out of the recorded stream of raw video images, a stream of high resolution frames. The high resolution frames are characterized by non perceptible boundaries between neighboring images derived from respective neighboring raw video images. | 04-14-2016 |
20160104512 | TIME STAMPED IMAGERY ASSEMBLY FOR COURSE PERFORMANCE VIDEO REPLAY - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to video imagery assembly for course oriented activities and provide a method, system and computer program product for time stamped imagery assembly for course performance video replay. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for time stamped imagery assembly can include acquiring different images from different cameras disposed about an activity course traversed by a moving object and time stamping each of the different images. The method also can include repeatedly acquiring position and time stamp data for the moving object as the moving object traverses the activity course. Finally, the method can include assembling the different images acquired from the different cameras in a single sequence of images with positions in the sequence determined by correlating time stamps for each of the images with the acquired position and time stamp data of the moving object. | 04-14-2016 |
20160134856 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - The image display apparatus is connected, directly or via a recording apparatus, to an image capturing apparatus, and includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire recording process information on an image recording process for recording, with the image capturing apparatus or the recording apparatus, moving image data generated by capturing an object with the image capturing apparatus and audio data representing audio that is input to a microphone during a shooting period of the moving image data, and a reduction unit configured to execute a sound reduction process for reducing a sound output from the image display apparatus, in a case where the image recording process is executed, based on the recording process information. | 05-12-2016 |
