Image capture based on action recognition

Abstract:

A camera image processor receives frames from an image sensor of the camera. While continuing to receive frames from the image sensor, the camera image processor detecting an action within one or more frames of the received frames, for example using a convolution neural network trained to recognize one or more actions. While continuing to receive frames from the image sensor, the camera image processor captures the one or more frames with the detected action, for example as a still image, or as a slow-motion portion of a video that includes the received frames.
