20220182591 · 2022-06-09 · ·

An image processing device a camera and a method for of encoding images captured by a camera are disclosed. For each image of an image sequence captured by the camera, the image is pre-processed by filtering the image by applying a privacy filter, the privacy filter being configured to distort the image in such a way that privacy is achieved in the filtered image, and, for at least a subset of the filtered images, by colour revising the filtered image by changing colour of pixels of a plurality of scattered areas of the filtered image such that a respective colour of one or more pixels of each area of the plurality of scattered areas represents one or more original colours of one or more pixels before filtering at a location of that area in the filtered image. The pre-processed images are then encoded into an encoded video stream.

Video generation device, video generation method, and program

Using different deformation maps that have elements corresponding to respective pixels deriving from an original image and have low-spatial frequency components, the elements indicating a moving direction and a moving amount of the corresponding pixels, the pixels deriving from the original image are moved in a moving direction by a moving amount, the moving direction and the moving amount being specified by the elements corresponding to the respective pixels, and modulated images are obtained. The modulated images are separated into brightness components and color components to obtain brightness component images and color component images, brightness of brightness component images and/or color of color component images is modulated to obtain brightness-modulated image and/or color-modulated image, and a video is obtained, the video being configured by arranging integrated images obtained by integrating the obtained brightness-modulated images and/or color-modulated images.

Automated selection of color palettes for video content using artificial intelligence

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for automated selection of color palettes for video content. Example methods may include determining, by one or more computer processors coupled to memory, a first segment of video content, the first segment comprising a first set of frames, determining, using a first video processing algorithm, a first object that is present in the first set of frames, and determining, using a second video processing algorithm, a first semantic characteristic of the first segment. Some example methods may include generating a first vector representing the first object and the first semantic characteristic, and generating, using a first neural network and the first vector, a first color palette recommendation for the first segment. Selection of the first color palette recommendation may cause a color filter to be applied to the first set of frames.

Plate reconstruction of obscured views of a main imaging device using capture device inputs of the same scene

An imagery processing system obtains capture inputs from capture devices that might have capture parameters and characteristics that differ from those of a main imagery capture device. By normalizing outputs of those capture devices, potentially arbitrary capture devices could be used for reconstructing portions of a scene captured by the main imagery capture device when reconstructing a plate of the scene to replace an object in the scene with what the object obscured in the scene. Reconstruction could be of one main image, a stereo pair of images, or some number, N, of images where N>2.
