Methods and systems for creating swivel views from a handheld device

摘要

Examples of methods and systems for creating swivel views from handheld video are described. In some examples, a method may be performed by a handheld device to receive or capture a video of a target object and the video may include a plurality of frames and content of the target object from a plurality of viewpoints. The device may determine one or more approximately corresponding frames of the video including content of the target object from a substantially matching viewpoint and may align the approximately corresponding frames of the video based on one or more feature points of the target object to generate an aligned video. The device may provide sampled frames from multiple viewpoints from the aligned video, configured for viewing the target object in a rotatable manner, such as in a swivel view format.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a computing system, a video of a target object, wherein the video includes a plurality of frames, and wherein the video includes content representing a plurality of images of the target object from a plurality of viewpoints; determining, by the computing system, one or more approximately corresponding frames of the video including content of the target object from a substantially matching viewpoint, wherein a first of the one or more approximately corresponding frames is from a first portion of the video and a second of the one or more approximately corresponding frames is from another portion of the video; aligning the one or more approximately corresponding frames of the video to generate an aligned video; sampling, by the computing system, frames of the aligned video to select frames from multiple viewpoints of the plurality of viewpoints; and providing, by the computing system, the sampled frames configured for viewing the target object in a swivel view format that enables an aligned and continuous view of the target object from the plurality of viewpoints in a rotatable manner.
