SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TIMELAPSE VIDEO ACQUISITION AND COMPRESSION

摘要

Techniques and devices for acquiring and compressing timelapse video are described. The techiques are adaptive, in that the acquisition frame rate is adapted and captured images are periodically deleted during filming. To implement the method, a user need not know ahead of time how long the source video will be acquired. Regardless of the acquisition time, the resulting video is automatically edited to provide a timelapse clip of a predefined length or of a length within a predefined range.
