Abstract

Techniques and devices for acquiring and compressing timelapse video are described. The techniques are adaptive, in that the acquisition frame rate is adapted and captured images are periodically deleted during filming. To implement the method, a user need not know ahead of time how long the source video will be acquired. Regardless of the acquisition time, the resulting video is automatically edited to provide a timelapse clip of a predefined length or of a length within a predefined range.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This disclosure is related to subject matter of commonly assigned U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 292,547, entitled "Exposure Measurement for Time-lapse Video," filed May 30, 2014 (the "'547 Application") . technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of video capture, and more particularly to acquiring timelapse video. Background technique [0004] The advent of portable integrated computing devices has led to a widespread proliferation of cameras and video equipment. These integrated computing devices collectively take the form of a smartphone or tablet computer, and often include a general-purpose computer, a camera, a sophisticated user interface including a touch-sensitive screen, and wireless communications via WiFi, LTE, HSDPA, and other cell-based or wireless technologies ability. The widespread proliferation of these integrated devices presents the opportunity to use ...
