Abstract

A video may be captured by an image capture device in motion. A stabilization trajectory for the video may reflect stabilization rotational positions to compensate for at least some of the motion of the image capture device. The stabilization trajectory may have a stabilization trajectory length. The stabilization of the visual content may be assessed based on the stabilization trajectory length.

Claims (38)

1. A system for assessing stabilization of videos, the system comprising:

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

obtain video information defining a video, the video including visual content captured by an image capture device during a capture duration;

obtain stabilization information for the video, the stabilization information characterizing a stabilization trajectory for stabilization of the visual content of the video;

assess the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video, wherein the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes computation of a stabilization performance score based on differences in position or orientation of the image capture device and differences in frame timestamps corresponding to the position or the orientation of the image capture device; and

effectuate a change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video include length, amplitude, and/or changes in amplitude of the stabilization trajectory.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video changes the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video reduces length of the stabilization trajectory.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the stabilization performance score is computed in an axis-wise fashion to assess motion around individual axis separately.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in one or more stabilization parameters for the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in use of a first stabilization technique to a second stabilization technique for the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in shape of a viewing window used for the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

9. A method for assessing stabilization of videos, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:

obtaining, by the computing system, video information defining a video, the video including visual content captured by an image capture device during a capture duration;

obtaining, by the computing system, stabilization information for the video, the stabilization information characterizing a stabilization trajectory for stabilization of the visual content of the video;

assessing, by the computing system, the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video, wherein assessing the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes computing a stabilization performance score based on differences in position or orientation of the image capture device and differences in frame timestamps corresponding to the position or the orientation of the image capture device; and

effectuating, by the computing system, a change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video include length, amplitude, and/or changes in amplitude of the stabilization trajectory.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video changes the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video reduces length of the stabilization trajectory.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the stabilization performance score is computed in an axis-wise fashion to assess motion around individual axis separately.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in one or more stabilization parameters for the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in use of a first stabilization technique to a second stabilization technique for the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in shape of a viewing window used for the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

17. A system for assessing stabilization of videos, the system comprising:

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

obtain video information defining a video, the video including visual content captured by an image capture device during a capture duration;

obtain stabilization information for the video, the stabilization information characterizing a stabilization trajectory for stabilization of the visual content of the video;

assess the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video, the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video including length, amplitude, and/or changes in amplitude of the stabilization trajectory, wherein the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the one or more characteristics of the stabilization trajectory for the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes computation of a stabilization performance score based on differences in position or orientation of the image capture device and differences in frame timestamps corresponding to the position or the orientation of the image capture device; and

effectuate a change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein:

the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in shape of a viewing window used for the stabilization of the visual content of the video; and

the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video reduces length of the stabilization trajectory.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein:

the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video includes a change in one or more stabilization parameters for the stabilization of the visual content of the video; and

the change in the stabilization of the visual content of the video based on the assessment of the stabilization of the visual content of the video reduces length of the stabilization trajectory.

20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the stabilization performance score is computed in an axis-wise fashion to assess motion around individual axis separately.
