Claim 9:
10. A method for generating time-lapse videos using a dynamic time-lapse video frame rate, the method performed by a system including one or more processors, the method comprising:
obtaining visual information, the visual information defining visual content captured by an image capture device;
obtaining position information, the position information characterizing positions of the image capture device, the position information generated based on the positions of the image capture device measured by a position sensor, the position sensor carried by the image capture device;
determining a position-based time-lapse video frame rate factor based on the positions of the image capture device measured by the position sensor to encourage generation of time-lapse video frames from the visual content captured with the image capture device pointed or oriented in same direction;
determining a visual-based time-lapse video frame rate factor based on apparent motion between pairs of the time-lapse video frames to increase or slow down values of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate;
determining the values of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate based on the position-based time-lapse video frame rate factor and the visual-based time-lapse video frame rate factor, the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate that changes for generating the time-lapse video frames based on the visual content captured by the image capture device;
generating the time-lapse video frames based on the values of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate; and
presenting the time-lapse video frames on a display.
