Their approach, say the researchers, outperforms a variety of state-of-the-art methods aimed at doing the same thing. With it, users will be able to slow down their video recordings after taking them rather than have to engage a slow-motion video mode - typically 240 fps - while recording.
"There are many memorable moments in your life that you might want to record with a camera in slow-motion because they are hard to see clearly with your eyes - the first time a baby walks, a difficult skateboard trick, a dog catching a ball," say the researchers in a research paper on the project. "While it is possible to take 240-frame-per-second videos with a cell phone, recording everything at high frame rates is impractical, as it requires large memories and is power-intensive for mobile devices."
