A method of generating a moving thumbnail is disclosed. The method includes sampling video frames of a video item. The method further includes determining frame-level quality scores for the sampled video frames. The method also includes determining multiple group-level quality scores for multiple groups of the sampled video frames using the frame-level quality scores of the sampled video frames. The method further includes selecting one of the groups of the sampled video frames based on the multiple group-level quality scores. The method includes creating a moving thumbnail using a subset of the video frames that have timestamps within a range from the start timestamp to the end timestamp.

An image capture device for recording HDR (high dynamic range) image data obtained through image capture performs control so as to, when encoding HDR image data obtained by capturing an image with an image sensor, divide part of the HDR image data corresponding to a coding area to be encoded into a plurality of divided HDR image data, encode each of the plurality of divided HDR image data by using encoding means, and record the plurality of divided HDR image data that are encoded on a recording medium in a predetermined recording format.

A method for the calibration of a camera for monitoring additive manufacturing of an object in which material is applied in a plurality of layers is provided. The method includes: a) providing the camera and providing means for additive manufacturing of the object, b) capturing an image of the object being manufactured or already manufactured by the camera, c) comparing the image captured with a model of the object, d) determining a calibration function on the basis of the comparison from step c), which is intended to transform the image captured into a corrected image, wherein the corrected image of the object substantially corresponds to the model of the object, and e) calibrating the camera by the calibration function. Also provided is a computer program comprising commands which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute the steps of the method as well as a related apparatus.

A display device including a display; and a controller configured to receive a request to display a video list including at least one video item corresponding to a video, determine an existence of last playback information indicating a last playback time of the video, and in response to the existence of the last playback information, control the display to display the at least one video item with a first thumbnail representing a first preview video based on the last playback time of the video.

An image capture device for recording HDR (high dynamic range) image data obtained through image capture performs control so as to, when encoding HDR image data obtained by capturing an image with an image sensor, divide part of the HDR image data corresponding to a coding area to be encoded into a plurality of divided HDR image data, encode each of the plurality of divided HDR image data by using encoding means, and record the plurality of divided HDR image data that are encoded on a recording medium in a predetermined recording format.

A method of generating audio-visual content from video game footage is provided. The method comprises obtaining a user-selected audio track and obtaining video game footage. Statistical analysis is performed on the audio track so as to determine an excitement level associated with respective portions of the audio track. Statistical analysis is performed on the video game footage so as to determine an excitement level associated with respective portions of the video game footage. Portions of the video game footage are matched with portions of the audio track, based on a correspondence in determined excitement level. Based on said matching, a combined audio-visual content comprising the portions of the video game footage matched to corresponding portions of the audio track is generated. In this way, calm and exciting moments within the video footage are matched to corresponding moments in the audio track. A corresponding system is also provided.

A layered-keyframe-based, presentation recording service provides for presentation recording sessions, the recording of presentations, and the creation of presentation videos. A user records with the user's device the document pages and page annotations, as well audio and video streams, that are presented using the device during the course of a presentation recording session. The pages, annotations and video streams are efficiently and separately recorded as keyframes. These keyframes are used as document, annotation and video layers to create layered keyframes. A presentation video is created from the layered keyframes and the recorded audio stream. Users can then playback presentation videos at a time, place and manner that is available to, accessible by and/or convenient to them.

Systems and methods provide techniques for reviewing content, such as reviewing video on a mobile device. A computing device with a touch screen interface, e.g., a tablet computer, executes a reviewing tool, e.g., a computer program, that causes the device to display video content and information about the video content. The tool provides an interface for selecting video, images, and information, for review and for annotation. The tool uses remote and/or local data to display video, images, and information for review.
