Realtime capture exposure adjust gestures
Disclosed herein are systems, device, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for enabling semi-manual media capture. Semi-manual media capture can involve calculating optimal exposure settings in an auto-exposure loop, displaying a scene with optimal exposure settings in real time, receiving a manual adjust gesture, and adjusting the scene, in real time, based on the manual adjust gesture.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
displaying, on a display device, an image of a scene to be captured, wherein the image of the scene to be captured includes a series of refreshed frames displaying the image;
focusing an auto-exposure algorithm on a portion of the displayed scene;
automatically setting auto-exposure settings for the image based on the auto-exposure algorithm focusing on the portion of the displayed scene;
receiving an adjustment via an input device associated with the display device, wherein receiving the adjustment comprises receiving a voice command;
animating an adjustment element displayed on the display device in response to receiving the voice command; and
adjusting, in response to the received adjustment, the auto-exposure settings for the entire image for each of the refreshed frames by applying a manual adjustment of the auto-exposure settings for the portion of the displayed scene to the entire image,
wherein a degree of adjustment of the auto exposure settings is indicated by one or more of: a range of movement of the animated adjustment element; and a speed of movement of the animated adjustment element.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the input device comprises a microphone.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the displayed scene is selected via an input received at the input device.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the input for selection of the portion comprises one or more of a touch input and a second voice command.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the displayed scene is automatically detected.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the automatic detection of the portion comprises detecting one or more objects in the displayed scene.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the detected one or more objects comprises one or more human faces.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment element is no longer displayed in response to an adjustment not being received via the input device after a predetermined amount of time.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment element is continuously displayed, regardless of an adjustment being received via the input device.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment element is displayed in response to a second voice command.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, via the input device, an additional adjustment; and
more-finely adjusting, based on the additional adjustment, the auto-exposure settings for the entire image for each of the refreshed frames, by applying the additional adjustment of the auto-exposure settings for the portion of the displayed scene to the entire image.
12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processor to:
cause an image of a scene to be captured to be displayed on a display device, wherein the image of the scene to be captured includes a series of refreshed frames displaying the image;
focus an auto-exposure algorithm on a portion of the displayed scene;
automatically set auto-exposure settings for the image based on the auto-exposure algorithm focusing on the portion of the displayed scene;
receive an adjustment via an input device associated with the display device, wherein receiving the adjustment comprises receiving a voice command;
animate an adjustment element displayed on the display device in response to receiving the voice command; and
adjust, in response to the received adjustment, the auto-exposure settings for the entire image for each of the refreshed frames by applying a manual adjustment of the auto-exposure settings for the portion of the displayed scene to the entire image,
wherein a degree of adjustment of the auto exposure settings is indicated by one or more of: a range of movement of the animated adjustment element; and a speed of movement of the animated adjustment element.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the adjustment element is no longer displayed in response to an adjustment not being received via the input device after a predetermined amount of time.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the adjustment element is displayed in response to a second voice command.
15. A system comprising:
memory storing data, the data comprising instructions;
a display device configured to present output;
an input device configured to receive input; and
logic coupled to the memory, the display device, and the input device, wherein the logic is configured to execute the instructions to:
cause an image of a scene to be captured to be displayed on the display device, wherein the image of the scene to be captured includes a series of refreshed frames displaying the image;
focus an auto-exposure algorithm on a portion of the displayed scene;
automatically set auto-exposure settings for the image based on the auto-exposure algorithm focusing on the portion of the displayed scene;
receive an adjustment via the input device, wherein receiving the adjustment comprises receiving a voice command;
animate an adjustment element displayed on the display device in response to receiving the voice command; and
adjust, in response to the received adjustment, the auto-exposure settings for the entire image for each of the refreshed frames by applying a manual adjustment of the auto-exposure settings for the portion of the displayed scene to the entire image,
wherein a degree of adjustment of the auto exposure settings is indicated by one or more of: a range of movement of the animated adjustment element; and a speed of movement of the animated adjustment element.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the input device comprises a microphone.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the adjustment element is displayed in response to a second voice command.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the adjustment element is no longer displayed in response to an adjustment not being received via the input device after a predetermined amount of time.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the adjustment element is continuously displayed, regardless of an adjustment being received via the input device.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the adjustment element is continuously displayed, regardless of an adjustment being received via the input device.
