20150036997 | RECORDING APPARATUS AND RECORDING METHOD - A recording apparatus of this invention has an interval recording mode in which recording of a predetermined recording time worth of moving image data is repeated each time a predetermined interval period elapses. In the interval recording mode, recording in the interval recording mode is terminated if it is determined that joined moving image data obtained by joining together moving image data recorded as separate moving image files cannot be recorded in the available area of a recording medium. Also, if a joining instruction is input, joined moving image data is generated and recorded into the recording medium. A series of moving images shot in the interval recording mode can therefore be played back easily. | 02-05-2015 |

20160080651 | CAMERA - A contact terminal is provided with a charging port to which a charging voltage is applied and a CON.DET port which detects a voltage change. In a case where a plug of a charging cable is connected to the contact terminal, the charging port and the CON.DET port are electrically connected to each other via the charging cable so that a signal level in the CON.DET port reaches an “H” level. In a case where the plug of the charging cable is removed from the contact terminal, the charging voltage is not applied to the CON.DET port so that a signal level in the CON.DET port changes from an “H” level to an “L” level, and thus recording of image information output from an imaging unit of the camera is started. | 03-17-2016 |

20160093335 | Time-Lapse Video Capture With Temporal Points Of Interest - Traditionally, time-lapse videos are constructed from images captured at given time intervals called “temporal points of interests” or “temporal POIs.” Disclosed herein are intelligent systems and methods of capturing and selecting better images around temporal points of interest for the construction of improved time-lapse videos. According to some embodiments, a small “burst” of images may be captured, centered around the aforementioned temporal points of interest. Then, each burst sequence of images may be analyzed, e.g., by performing a similarity comparison between each image in the burst sequence and the image selected at the previous temporal point of interest. Selecting the image from a given burst that is most similar to the previous selected image allows the intelligent systems and methods described herein to improve the quality of the resultant time-lapse video by discarding “outlier” or other undesirable images captured in the burst sequence around a particular temporal point of interest. | 03-31-2016 |
20160094801 | Time-Lapse Video Capture With Optimal Image Stabilization - Traditionally, time-lapse videos are constructed from images captured at time intervals called “temporal points of interests” or “temporal POIs.” Disclosed herein are systems and methods of constructing improved, motion-stabilized time-lapse videos using temporal points of interest and image similarity comparisons. According to some embodiments, a “burst” of images may be captured, centered around the aforementioned temporal points of interest. Then, each burst sequence of images may be analyzed, e.g., by performing an image similarity comparison between each image in the burst sequence and the image selected at the previous temporal point of interest. Selecting the image from a given burst that is most similar to the previous selected image, while minimizing the amount of motion with the previous selected image, allows the system to improve the quality of the resultant time-lapse video by discarding “outlier” or other undesirable images captured in the burst sequence and motion stabilizing the selected image. | 03-31-2016 |
