Abstract

A first portion of a first video segment may be obtained from a user. A second portion of a second video segment may be obtained from the user. The first portion and the second portion may be aggregated to form an aggregated video segment. A first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first portion may be obtained. A second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second portion may be obtained. Preferences for capture settings of an image capturing device may be determined based upon the first and second set of capture settings. Instructions may be transmitted to the image capturing device. The instructions may include the determined preferences for the capture settings and may be configured to cause the image capturing device to adjust the capture settings to the determined preferences.

Claims (39)

1. A system for determining preferences for capture settings of an image capturing device, the system comprising:

one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to:

obtain a first portion of a first video segment from a user;

obtain a second portion of a second video segment from the user;

aggregate the first portion and the second portion to form an aggregated video segment;

obtain a first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first portion;

obtain a second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second portion;

determine the preferences for the capture settings of the image capturing device based upon the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings, the preferences for the capture settings being associated with the user, wherein the capture settings define aspects of operation for one or more of a processor of the image capturing device, an imaging sensor of the image capturing device, and/or an optical element of the image capturing device; and

effectuate transmission of instructions to the image capturing device, the instructions including the determined preferences for the capture settings and being configured to cause the image capturing device to adjust the capture settings to the determined preferences; and

wherein the image capturing device is configured to adjust the capture settings to the determined preferences based upon current contextual information that defines one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes associated with the image capture device and current capture settings of the image capturing device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical computer processors is further configured by computer readable instructions to:

obtain capture settings associated with other portions of the first video segment and the second video segment not included within the aggregated video segment; and

determine differences between the capture settings associated with the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment and the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the preferences for the capture settings of the image capturing device is determined based upon the first set of capture settings, the second set of capture settings, and/or the differences between the capture settings associated with the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes include one or more of a geolocation attribute, a time attribute, a date attribute, and/or a content attribute.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the geolocation attribute includes a location of the image capturing device capturing a current video segment.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the time attribute includes a timestamp associated with when the current video segment was captured.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the date attribute includes one or more of a date associated with when the current video segment was captured, seasonal information associated with when the current video segment was captured, and/or a time of year associated with when the current video segment was captured.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the content attribute includes one or more of an action depicted within the current video segment, one or more objects depicted within the current video segment, and/or a landscape depicted within the current video segment.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the capture settings includes one or more of a shutter speed, a resolution, a frame rate, white balance, an exposure, a field of view, an aperture, and/or focus modes.

10. A method for determining preferences for capture settings of an image capturing device, the method comprising:

obtaining a first portion of a first video segment from a user;

obtaining a second portion of a second video segment from the user;

aggregating the first portion and the second portion to form an aggregated video segment;

obtaining a first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first portion;

obtaining a second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second portion;

determining the preferences for the capture settings of the image capturing device based upon the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings, the preferences for the capture settings being associated with the user, wherein the capture settings define aspects of operation for one or more of a processor of the image capturing device, an imaging sensor of the image capturing device, and/or an optical element of the image capturing device;

effectuating transmission of instructions to the image capturing device, the instructions including the determined preferences for the capture settings and being configured to cause the image capturing device to adjust the capture settings to the determined preferences; and

wherein the image capturing device is configured to adjust the capture settings to the determined preferences based upon current contextual information that defines one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes associated with the image capture device and current capture settings of the image capturing device.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

obtaining capture settings associated with other portions of the first video segment and the second video segment not included within the aggregated video segment; and

determining differences between the capture settings associated with the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment and the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the preferences for the capture settings of the image capturing device is determined based upon the first set of capture settings, the second set of capture settings, and/or the differences between the capture settings associated with the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes include one or more of a geolocation attribute, a time attribute, a date attribute, and/or a content attribute.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the geolocation attribute includes a location of the image capturing device capturing a current video segment.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the time attribute includes a timestamp associated with when the current video segment was captured.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the date attribute includes one or more of a date associated with when the current video segment was captured, seasonal information associated with when the current video segment was captured, and/or a time of year associated with when the current video segment was captured.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the content attribute includes one or more of an action depicted within the current video segment, one or more objects depicted within the current video segment, and/or a landscape depicted within the current video segment.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the capture settings includes one or more of a shutter speed, a resolution, a frame rate, white balance, an exposure, a field of view, an aperture, and/or focus modes.
