A system is provided that presents video content on an electronic device such that, when a user swipes to dismiss the video content, non-video summary information or contextual material about the video content is automatically displayed in place of the video content. The non-video summary information is presented on a summary card dragged on-screen responsive to user swipe input. If, for example, the user swipes to dismiss a video advertisement before an informational payload of the video advertisement has been delivered, the informational payload can automatically be displayed in text format on a summary card dragged by the user in replacement of the dismissed video advertisement.

A robotic vehicle may be configured to incorporate multiple sensors to make the robotic vehicle capable of collecting and uploading image data over time into the cloud to generate interactive garden models. In this regard, in some cases, the robotic vehicle may include an onboard vehicle positioning module and sensor network that may work together to give the robotic vehicle a collective understanding of its environment, and enable it to autonomously collect and upload image data for corresponding locations.

In some embodiments, a method receives sub-bitstreams from a multi-pass transcoding process of a video. A target quality is received based on a characteristic of transcoding of the video. Then, the method generates a combination of sub-bitstream chunks from the sub-bitstreams for the video. A set of exchange rates is calculated where each exchange rate defines how much bitrate will be reduced in relation to quality if an anchor sub-bitstream chunk from the combination of sub-bitstream chunks is replaced with another sub-bitstream chunk from other sub-bitstreams. Then method iteratively exchanges one of the anchor sub-bitstream chunks in the combination of sub-bitstream chunks with another sub-bitstream chunk based on the exchange rate of the anchor sub-bitstream chunk in the combination of sub-bitstream chunks until the quality measurement of the combination meets the target quality. Then, the combination of sub-bitstream chunks is recorded as a transcoded bitstream.

Systems and methods can support a data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can include a data processor that is associated with a data capturing device on a stationary object and/or a movable object. The data processor can receive data in a data flow from one or more data sources, wherein the data flow is configured based on a time sequence. Then, the data processor can receive a control signal, which is associated with a first timestamp, wherein the first timestamp indicates a first time. Furthermore, the data processor can determine a first data segment by applying the first timestamp on the data flow, wherein the first data segment is associated with a time period in the time sequence that includes the first time.

Aspects of present disclosure relates to a mobile geotagging device, a mobile geotagging system, and methods of mobile geotagging system. In certain embodiments, mobile geotagging device includes: a display screen, a processor, and a non-volatile storage device storing a mobile geotagging application. When executed by processor, mobile geotagging application causes the processor to: generate a time-coded image containing an initial starting point of time, track timing and geolocation information of mobile geotagging device while a digital camera is in use, and store tracked timing and geolocation data, receive a set of images and videos from digital camera, append timing and geolocation information in EXIF into corresponding image files and video files based on a timing difference between digital camera and mobile geotagging device and tracked timing and geolocation information data stored in geolocation/timing tracking storage, and store the images and videos having updated timing and geolocation information in image/video storage.
