Provided is an image capturing device including a motion determination unit that determines the presence/absence of motion in a plurality of pixels on the basis of an addition signal of the plurality of pixels to obtain a motion determination result, and a transmission control unit that controls whether or not to transmit image data corresponding to at least the plurality of pixels on the basis of the motion determination result.

A system is provided for converting image data from a first image format to a second image format that approximates a three-dimensional lookup table. The system includes an image processing operation database that stores image format conversion configurations; an image format conversion selector that selects an image format conversion for converting the image data from a first to a second format and that accesses, from the database, a corresponding image format conversion configuration for converting the image data to the second format; and an image processor that executes processing input operations on RGB components of the image data, a 3×3 matrix, and processing output operations on the respective RGB components that are output from the 3×3 matrix, such that the image data is converted to the second format, with the processing input and output operations comprising the accessed image format conversion configuration.

A system and method for learning human activities from video demonstrations using video augmentation is disclosed. The method includes receiving original videos from one or more data sources. The method includes processing the received original videos using one or more video augmentation techniques to generate a set of augmented videos. Further, the method includes generating a set of training videos by combining the received original videos with the generated set of augmented videos. Also, the method includes generating a deep learning model for the received original videos based on the generated set of training videos. Further, the method includes learning the one or more human activities performed in the received original videos by deploying the generated deep learning model. The method includes outputting the learnt one or more human activities performed in the original videos.

A smart multimedia content receiver automatically resizes video images based on the content being displayed on the TV screen. Such a self-formatting content receiver includes on-board image processing capability that provides continuous video analysis to detect changes in program formatting and convert each frame as it is received in real time, as opposed to processing and re-releasing an entire program or movie, or relying on the viewer to re-format programs manually. In response to detecting a change, aspect ratio adjustments are made as needed. Because the self-formatting content receiver has access to the video data before it is displayed, such automatic on-the-fly adjustments ensure that the viewer's experience during program changes is seamless and without distortion. Subscribers can influence decisions made by the content receiver by pre-setting viewer preferences for aspect ratio adjustment.

The present invention provides a video decoding method and a camera. Said method comprises: loading a video, and decoding each frame from the video; calculating, for any two adjacent frames, a first optical flow field; calculating, according to the first optical flow field, a second optical flow field of a position where a frame is to be inserted, the position being located between two adjacent frames; using the second optical flow field to calculate a corresponding pixel position, in a previous frame of two adjacent frames, of each pixel of the frame to be inserted, and assigning the pixel value of the previous frame to the pixel of the frame to be inserted; and placing the inserted frame and the decoded original frame together according to a time sequence, so as to reconstitute a video having a high frame rate. The present invention eliminates or improves discrete motion, providing a more fluent viewing experience.

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a video adaptation method, a related device, and a related storage medium. The method in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: receiving indication information sent by a video receiving device, where the indication information is used to indicate an image super-resolution capability of the video receiving device; and if the indication information indicates that the image super-resolution capability of the video receiving device is enabled, obtaining a video having a target frame rate and a target resolution that correspond to the indication information and sending the video having the target frame rate and the target resolution to the video receiving device.

Methods, systems, and media for selecting video formats for adaptive video streaming are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving an indication of a video to be presented on a user device; identifying a group of quality metrics for each of a plurality of segments of the video, wherein each quality metric includes values for a particular segment and for a particular format of a group of available formats for the video; selecting a first format for a first segment of the video; causing the first segment of the video to be presented on the user device; identifying a quality of a network connection between the user device and a server that hosts the video; identifying a second format for a second segment of the video based on the quality of the network connection; determining whether a format of the video is to be changed from the first format to the second format based at least on the group of quality metrics for the second segment of the video; and, in response to determining that the format of the video is to be changed from the first format to the second format, causing the second segment having the second format to be presented by the user device.
