Abstract

A capture settings for one or more image capture devices may be determined. The capture setting may define one or more aspects of operation for the image capture device(s). The aspect(s) of operation for the image capture device(s) may include one or more aspects of operation for a processor of the image capture device(s), an image sensor of the image capture device(s), and/or an optical element of the image capture device(s). A machine-readable optical code may be generated based on the capture setting and/or other information. The machine-readable optical code may convey the capture setting for the image capture device(s) such that a first image capture device capturing a first image including the machine-readable optical code may: (1) identify the machine-readable optical code within the first image; (2) determine the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and (3) operate in accordance with the capture setting.

Claims (45)

1. A system for determining capture settings for visual content capture, the system comprising:

one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

determine a capture setting for one or more image capture devices, the capture setting defining one or more aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices, the one or more aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices including one or more aspects of operation for a processor of the one or more image capture devices, an image sensor of the one or more image capture devices, and/or an optical element of the one or more image capture devices; and

generate a machine-readable optical code based on the capture setting, the machine-readable optical code conveying the capture setting for the one or more image capture devices such that a first image capture device capturing a first image including the machine-readable optical code:

identifies the machine-readable optical code within the first image;

determines the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and

operates in accordance with the capture setting.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable optical code conveys the capture setting for the one or more image capture devices such that a second image capture device capturing a second image including the machine-readable optical code:

identifies the machine-readable optical code within the second image;

determines the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and

operates in accordance with the capture setting.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable optical code conveys different capture settings for different image capture devices such that the first image capture device operates in accordance with a first capture setting based on the first image capture device capturing the first image including the machine-readable optical code and a second image capture device operates in accordance with a second capture setting based on the second image capture device capturing a second image including the machine-readable optical code.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the first image capture device operates in accordance with the first capture setting further based on a first identification of the first image capture device operating at a first location and the second image capture device operates in accordance with the second capture setting further based on a second identification of the second image capture device operating at a second location, the first location being different from the second location.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the capture setting for the one or more image capture devices includes:

accessing visual information defining visual content, the visual content captured using the capture setting, the capture setting stored in capture information for the visual content; and

determining the capture setting based on the capture information for the visual content.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by machine-readable instruction to determine one or more changes in the capture setting based on user input.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the visual information defining the visual content is accessed based on the visual content including a highlight moment.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the capture setting for the one or more image capture devices includes:

effectuating presentation of a user interface on a display, the user interface including one or more fields corresponding to the one or more aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices, the one or more fields presenting one or more options for selection by a user to set one or more corresponding aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices; and

determining the capture setting based on one or more of the options selected by the user.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the capture setting defines one or more advanced aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices, the one or more advanced aspects not configurable from a standard configuration user interface of the one or more image capture devices.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices include one or more of a capture mode, a capture resolution, a capture framerate, a capture field of view, a capture visual processing, and/or a capture shutter speed.

11. A method for determining capture settings for visual content capture, the method comprising:

determining a capture setting for one or more image capture devices, the capture setting defining one or more aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices, the one or more aspects of operation for the one or more image capture devices including one or more aspects of operation for a processor of the one or more image capture devices, an image sensor of the one or more image capture devices, and/or an optical element of the one or more image capture devices; and

generating a machine-readable optical code based on the capture setting, the machine-readable optical code conveying the capture setting for the one or more image capture devices such that a first image capture device capturing a first image including the machine-readable optical code:

identifies the machine-readable optical code within the first image;

determines the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and

operates in accordance with the capture setting.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the machine-readable optical code conveys the capture setting for the one or more image capture devices such that a second image capture device capturing a second image including the machine-readable optical code:

identifies the machine-readable optical code within the second image;

determines the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and

operates in accordance with the capture setting.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the machine-readable optical code conveys different capture settings for different image capture devices such that the first image capture device operates in accordance with a first capture setting based on the first image capture device capturing the first image including the machine-readable optical code and a second image capture device operates in accordance with a second capture setting based on the second image capture device capturing a second image including the machine-readable optical code.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first image capture device operates in accordance with the first capture setting further based on a first identification of the first image capture device operating at a first location and the second image capture device operates in accordance with the second capture setting further based on a second identification of the second image capture device operating at a second location, the first location being different from the second location.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein determining the capture setting for the one or more image capture devices includes:
