Meet HP's Sprout, now available in the UK
The intriguing HP Sprout is a next-generation desktop computer combining an all-in-one PC, a projector-scanner unit, a touch mat and a custom Windows-integrated workspace. ...
Silicon.com's Andy McCue got a peek at what HP research laboratories are cooking up.
There is too much raw footage for the user to process and select manually so HP developed image filtering and automatic analysis technology to do the hard work for them. The saved footage is downloaded to a PC, where sophisticated head motion detection algorithms determine which bits are most likely to be of interest to the user and whether a still, panorama or video clip is the most appropriate format.
The user can then review the edited footage and raise the "interest threshold" rating so that only highlights are selected or lower the threshold so that more footage is shown.
