Abstract:
The present disclosure provides image capture devices and associated methods of operation that enable the interactive editing of imagery, including, for example, removal and/or addition of non-stationary objects from and/or to captured imagery. According to one example aspect of the present disclosure, an image capture device can capture a plurality of frames of imagery that depict a scene and, while capturing the plurality of frames of imagery, provide a composite image within a viewfinder of the image capture device, where non-stationary objects included in the scene are removed from the composite image. According to another example aspect of the present disclosure, the image capture device can allow a user to edit a final composite image directly within the viewfinder. Thus, the present disclosure provides systems and methods that enable enhanced capture and interactive editing of imagery.

Claim (Index 1):
An image capture device, comprising:\n an image capture system configured to capture frames of imagery; a viewfinder configured to display at least a portion of a field of view of the image capture device; one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the image capture device to perform operations, the operations comprising:\n capturing a plurality of frames of imagery over a period of time that depict a scene; and \n while capturing the plurality of frames of imagery and during the period of time, and for each of the plurality of frames of imagery as such frame of imagery is captured:\n receiving the frame of imagery; \n upon receipt of the frame of imagery, updating a composite image based on the frame of imagery of the plurality of frames of imagery, wherein updating the composite image comprises:\n detecting one or more edges in the frame of imagery that are associated with one or more non-stationary objects included in the scene; and \n removing from the composite image the one or more non-stationary objects included in the scene; and \n \n providing the composite image for display in the viewfinder, wherein the composite image depicts the one or more edges but not the one or more non-stationary objects.
