Patent filed for synchronizing videos capturing body movements from multiple cameras
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230300281A1) describes an electronic device and method for synchronizing videos captured from multiple cameras to track the movement of a designated body part. The electronic device includes a memory for storing instructions and at least one processor. When the instructions are executed, the processor identifies multiple videos capturing a body from different cameras, obtains information indicating the movement of the designated body part from each video, and synchronizes the videos based on this information.
The patent also mentions that the movement of the designated body part can include movement in a direction parallel to the yaw axes of the cameras. Additionally, the processor can obtain information indicating the movement of the designated body part in a direction different from the yaw axes based on a position relationship between the cameras.
The electronic device can further identify specific points corresponding to the designated body part using a model received from the video and obtain information about the movement of the designated body part based on these points. It can also synchronize the videos by minimizing the difference in movement between the designated body part in the first and second videos, and trim parts of the videos based on this synchronization.
The patent also describes an operating method for the electronic device, which includes identifying videos capturing a body from multiple cameras, obtaining information about the movement of the designated body part from each video, and synchronizing the videos based on this information.
Furthermore, the patent mentions a computer-readable storage medium that stores programs for the electronic device. These programs enable the device to identify videos capturing a body in different fields of view, obtain information for shifting the videos in a time domain based on the movement of the body, synchronize the videos, and store them in the device's memory.
Overall, this patent describes a system and method for synchronizing videos from multiple cameras to track the movement of a designated body part. This technology could have applications in various fields such as sports analysis, motion tracking, and surveillance.
