IMAGING ATTENDEES AT EVENT VENUES

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for image and/or video acquisition and distribution of individuals at large events. In one aspect, an imaging service system includes image and/or video capture devices including a camera, a multiple-axis positioning system to mechanically secure and pan and tilt the camera, and motion control modules, in which the image and/or video captured devices are arranged in an event venue to capture images and videos of attendees at an event corresponding to an occurrence of the event, a trigger module communicatively coupled to the image and/or video capture devices to send a signal to some or all of the image and/or video capture devices to capture the images and videos based on the occurrence, and one or more computers in communication with the image and/or video capture devices to receive the captured images and videos and provide coordinates to the captured images and videos that correspond to locations in the event venue to associate individuals among the attendees to respective locations in the event venue.

主权项

1. An imaging service system, comprising:
image and/or video capture devices arranged in an event venue, at least one of the image and/or video capture devices configured to capture images and/or videos of locations in the event venue responsive to a triggering signal received during an event, wherein the captured images and/or videos include one or more attendees at the event; a trigger device communicatively coupled to the image and/or video capture devices to:
detect an occurrence of a moment during the event that satisfies a threshold, andresponsive to the detected occurrence of the moment, send the triggering signal to at least one of the image and/or video capture devices to initiate capture of the images and/or videos; and one or more computers in communication with the image and/or video capture devices to process the captured images and/or videos received from the at least one image and/or video capture device to determine coordinates associated with the captured images and/or videos that correspond to the locations in the event venue and to generate a processed image and/or video based on the determined coordinates centered on the corresponding location in the event venue, wherein the locations in the event venue for capturing the images and/or videos are predetermined.
