Abstract
A method and a system for recording a Super Slow Motion (SSM) video in a portable electronic device are provided. A SSM video recording system detects presence of motion in the image frames captured by the image capturing device. Upon detecting the presence of motion, the SSM video recording system generates a trigger, subsequent to which, a first and fourth set of image frames for performing a frame skipping mechanism, and a second and third set of image frames for performing an interpolation mechanism are selected. The image frames of desired frame rate generated by performing the frame skipping mechanism and the interpolation mechanism are transmitted to an encoder in an order, for encoding and recording. The method and system allow SSM even in mid-tier and low-tier models of smartphones, without the need of expensive specialized image sensors.
