The invention is directed to a cloud-connected dash camera (dashcam) system with continuous recording capability. The dashcam system is configured to record video segments in sync with GPS position data, upload the record video segments in sync with GPS position data to a backend server, and display the recorded video segments in sync with a GPS position on a map to an external computing device through a frontend graphical user interface.

At least one video stream that is encoded video information, and a management information file indicating attributes relating to the entire recording medium, are recorded in a recording medium. The management information file includes attribute information indicating whether the dynamic range of luminance of an initial video stream, which is played first out of the at least one video stream when the recording medium is inserted into a playback device, is a first dynamic range, or a second dynamic range that is broader than the first dynamic range.

A digital camera with audio, visual and motion analysis includes a digital processor, an input processing system, and one or more imaging sensors, sound sensors, and motion sensors. In a non-limiting embodiment, the input processing system including non-transitory computer readable media including code segments, executable by the digital processor, for real-time audio, visual and motion analysis to develop a digital model of an ambient environment of the digital camera from data derived from the imaging sensor(s), sound sensor(s) and motion sensor(s).

A luminance characteristics generation method includes: determining, for each of frames included in a video, a value as first luminance characteristics, the value being obtained by dividing the number of pixels having luminances less than or equal to a first luminance among all pixels included in the frame by the number of all the pixels included in the frame; and outputting the first luminance characteristics determined in the determining of the value.

A portable communication device supporting video calls is provided. The portable communication device can be configured to perform a video call on the basis of a first video codec and a first audio codec, receive, through a touch display, a request for recording the video call, and, if the first audio codec is not supported by a designated media container, record the video call on the basis of the first video codec and a second audio codec supported by the media container.

The present technology relates to image processing apparatus and method, and a program which enable appropriate live view display.

The image processing apparatus includes a control section configured to select, in a case in which multiple captured images for recording are continuously captured, whether to cause black out-free live view display for sequentially displaying one of the captured images and one or multiple inter-frame images that are captured between capturing of the captured image and capturing of next captured image and that are not for recording, to be carried out, or cause black out live view display for alternately providing a backout display period in which no image is displayed and a display period in which at least the inter-frame images are sequentially displayed, to be carried out. The present technology can be applied to a camera.
