Processing and formatting video for interactive presentation

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for receiving, at a computing device, a video comprising a plurality of frames and determining, by the computing device, that vertical cropping should be performed for the video. For each frame of the plurality of frames, the computing device processes the video by analyzing the frame to determine a region of interest in the frame, wherein the frame is a first frame, cropping the first frame based on the region of interest in the frame to produce a vertically cropped frame for the video, determining a second frame immediately preceding the first frame, and smoothing a trajectory from the second frame to the vertically cropped frame. The vertically cropped frame is displayed to a user instead of the first frame.
