Abstract

A first portion of a first video segment may be obtained from a user. A second portion of a second video segment may be obtained from the user. The first portion and the second portion may be aggregated to form an aggregated video segment. A first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first portion may be obtained. A second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second portion may be obtained. Preferences for capture settings of an image capturing device may be determined based upon the first and second set of capture settings. Instructions may be transmitted to the image capturing device. The instructions may include the determined preferences for the capture settings and may be configured to cause the image capturing device to adjust the capture settings to the determined preferences.

Claims

1. A system for determining capture settings of an image capturing device, the system comprising:

one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to;

obtain a set of videos;

obtain a set of capture settings associated with capture of the set of videos;

determine a set of preferred capture settings for the image capturing device based upon the set of capture settings, wherein the set of preferred capture settings defines aspects of operation for one or more of a processor of the image capturing device, an imaging sensor of the image capturing device, and/or an optical element of the image capturing device; and

effectuate transmission of instructions to the image capturing device, the instructions configured to cause the image capturing device to implement the set of preferred capture settings;

wherein the image capturing device is configured to implement the set of preferred capture settings based upon current contextual information that defines one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes associated with the image capturing device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the set of videos includes a first video portion and a second video portion, and obtaining the set of capture settings associated with capture of the set of videos includes obtaining a first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first video portion and a second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second video portion.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the set of videos includes an aggregated video segment, the first video portion is a portion of a first video segment, the second video portion is a portion of a second video segment, and the one or more physical computer processors are further configured by computer readable instructions to:

obtain capture settings associated with capture of other portions of the first video segment and the second video segment not included within the aggregated video segment; and

determine differences between the capture settings associated with the capture of the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment and the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the set of preferred capture settings for the image capturing device is determined based upon the first set of capture settings, the second set of capture settings, and/or the differences between the capture settings associated with the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes include one or more of a geolocation attribute, a time attribute, a date attribute, and/or a content attribute.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the geolocation attribute includes a location of video capture by the image capturing device.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the time attribute includes a time of video capture by the image capturing device.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the date attribute includes one or more of a date, seasonal information, and/or a time of year of video capture by the image capturing device.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the content attribute includes one or more of an action, one or more objects, and/or a landscape within video capture by the image capturing device.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the set of preferred capture settings includes one or more of a shutter speed, a resolution, a frame rate, white balance, an exposure, a field of view, an aperture, and/or focus modes.

11. A method for determining capture settings of an image capturing device, the method performed by a computing system including one or more physical processors, the method comprising:

obtaining a set of videos;

obtaining a set of capture settings associated with capture of the set of videos;

determining a set of preferred capture settings for the image capturing device based upon the set of capture settings, wherein the set of preferred capture settings defines aspects of operation for one or more of a processor of the image capturing device, an imaging sensor of the image capturing device, and/or an optical element of the image capturing device; and

effectuating transmission of instructions to the image capturing device, the instructions configured to cause the image capturing device to implement the set of preferred capture settings;

wherein the image capturing device is configured to implement the set of preferred capture settings based upon current contextual information that defines one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes associated with the image capturing device.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the set of videos includes a first video portion and a second video portion, and obtaining the set of capture settings associated with capture of the set of videos includes obtaining a first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first video portion and a second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second video portion.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the set of videos includes an aggregated video segment, the first video portion is a portion of a first video segment, the second video portion is a portion of a second video segment, the method further comprising:

obtaining capture settings associated with capture of other portions of the first video segment and the second video segment not included within the aggregated video segment; and

determining differences between the capture settings associated with the capture of the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment and the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the set of preferred capture settings for the image capturing device is determined based upon the first set of capture settings, the second set of capture settings, and/or the differences between the capture settings associated with the other portions not included within the aggregated video segment.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes include one or more of a geolocation attribute, a time attribute, a date attribute, and/or a content attribute.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the geolocation attribute includes a location of video capture by the image capturing device.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the time attribute includes a time of video capture by the image capturing device.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the date attribute includes one or more of a date, seasonal information, and/or a time of year of video capture by the image capturing device.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the content attribute includes one or more of an action, one or more objects, and/or a landscape within video capture by the image capturing device.

20. The method of claim 11, wherein the set of preferred capture settings includes one or more of a shutter speed, a resolution, a frame rate, white balance, an exposure, a field of view, an aperture, and/or focus modes.
