Interactive graphical representation of image quality and control thereof

An apparatus for controlling an image capture device, the apparatus comprising:

• an electronic hardware processor;
• an electronic hardware memory, operably coupled to the electronic hardware processor, and storing instructions that when executed, cause the electronic hardware processor to:
• acquire an image via the image capture device based on a first set of image capture control parameters;
• determine a plurality of image quality measurements of the image;
• display a polygon on an electronic display based on the plurality of image quality measurements by:
• determining an origin point for the polygon;
• and
• determining a plurality of vertices corresponding to the plurality of image quality measurements, each vertex a distance from the origin point proportional to a value of a corresponding image quality measurement, wherein the polygon is displayed as a plurality of lines, each line connecting two of the plurality of vertices;
• based on the determined plurality of image quality measurements associated with the vertices, determine a composite measure of image quality;
• display a value associated with the composite measure of image quality on the electronic display;
• and
• determine a second set of image capture control parameters for the image capture device based on the composite measure of image quality.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause an electronic hardware processor of an image capture device to:

• acquire an image based on a set of image capture control parameters;
• determine a plurality of image quality measurements of the image;
• determine a composite measure of image quality based on a combination of the image quality measurements of the plurality of image quality measurements;
• display a polygon on an electronic display based on the plurality of image quality measurements by determining an origin point for the polygon and a plurality of vertices corresponding to the plurality of image quality measurements, each vertex a distance from the origin point proportional to a value of a corresponding image quality measurement, wherein the polygon is displayed as a plurality of lines, each line connecting two of the plurality of vertices;
• display a value corresponding to the composite measure of image quality within the polygon;
• determine an updated set of image capture control parameters for the image capture device based on the composite measure of image quality;
• transmit to the image capture device at least one of the second set of image capture control parameters for capture of a second image;
• and
• acquire a second image from the image capture device based on the updated set of the image capture control parameters.
