AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF VIDEO AND DIRECTIONAL AUDIO FROM SPHERICAL CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method for generating a video with corresponding audio, the method performing by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the computing system, video frames having a field of view;
receiving, by the computing system, directional audio captured with the video frames;
determining, by the computing system, a time-varying path of a target within the video frames based on an analysis of content of the video frames or information associated with the video frames;
identifying, by the computing system, sub-frames within the video frames based on the time-varying path of the target, the sub-frames including the target and having a reduced field of view relative to the field of view;
generating, by the computing system, an audio track based on the time-varying path of the target, the audio track including portions of the directional audio corresponding to a direction of the target; and
generating, by the computing system, an output video including the sub-frames and the audio track.

Abstract
A spherical content capture system captures spherical video and audio content. In one embodiment, captured metadata or video/audio processing is used to identify content relevant to a particular user based on time and location information. The platform can then generate an output video from one or more shared spherical content files relevant to the user. The output video may include a non-spherical reduced field of view such as those commonly associated with conventional camera systems. Particularly, relevant sub-frames having a reduced field of view may be extracted from each frame of spherical video to generate an output video that tracks a particular individual or object of interest. For each sub-frame, a corresponding portion of an audio track is generated that includes a directional audio signal having a directionality based on the selected sub-frame.
