An information processing apparatus acquires a plurality of captured images captured by a plurality of image capturing devices, the plurality of captured images having imaging time codes that match each other, the plurality of captured images being used for generating a virtual viewpoint image, executes a detection process for detecting a predetermined image pattern on the plurality of captured images, and determines parameters on positions of the plurality of image capturing devices and orientations from the plurality of image capturing devices based on a result of the detection process for detecting the predetermined image pattern on the plurality of captured images having the imaging time codes that match each other.

The 360 degree video recording and playback device is a security device. The 360 degree video recording and playback device is an audio-video recording device. The 360 degree video recording and playback device incorporates an image capture structure, a rendering structure, a supervisory structure, and a housing. The housing contains the image capture structure, the rendering structure, and the supervisory structure. The image capture structure, the rendering structure, and the supervisory structure are electrically interconnected. The image captures structure is a recording device that captures audible sounds and video images from the vicinity surrounding the 360 degree video recording and playback device. The field of view of the captured video images is 360 degrees. The rendering structure converts the captured audible sounds and video images into one or more video files.

A system, apparatus, computer program product, and method perform controlled video recording of video captured by a camera. The method includes checking by recorder circuitry of receipt of a ping signal sent from a server to the recorder, the ping signal being expected to be received by the recorder circuitry within a predetermined time interval after an earlier ping signal was received (or when an initial ping signal was expected to be received), in response to a determination by the recorder circuitry of not receiving the ping signal, entering an autonomous recording mode, the autonomous recording mode including recording video provided from at least one camera, and continuing operation of the autonomous recording mode until at least one of receiving another ping signal by the recorder circuitry, or receiving a control signal from the server that directs the recorder to stop recording the video provided from the at least one camera.

A video recording device, holster and article of clothing are disclosed to reliably and covertly provide for the capture of video, audio, and metadata, and perform other commands. The holster may be provided with a carrier that is, in turn, inserted into the holster. In one embodiment, the holster may be confirmed as being associated with the video recording device to authenticate a user, and establishes a docked position. Moreover, the video recording device may enter a mode of operation associated with using the video recording apparatus automatically when inserted into a holster.

The embodiments of the disclosure provide a video processing method and apparatus, and terminal and storage medium. The method includes: turning on a first camera on a first side and a second camera on a second side of a terminal in response to a first preset operation, wherein the first side and the second side are opposite or have different directions; and using the first camera and the second camera for simultaneous video recording. According to the method of the disclosure, a video recording method is improved by using the cameras on two sides of the terminal for simultaneous video recording, so that more flexible choices may be provided for video presentation and editing.
