Abstract
An apparatus configured for use in a camera identifies appropriate times to capture optical images with the camera. The apparatus includes a motion detector for generating movement data based on movement of the camera. A controller coupled to the movement detector identifies appropriate times to capture optical images based on the movement data.
Claims20
An apparatus configured for use in a camera to identify appropriate times to capture optical images with the camera, the apparatus comprising:
- a motion detector for generating movement data based on movement of the camera;
- and
- a controller coupled to the motion detector for identifying appropriate times to capture optical images based on the movement data.
A method of capturing images with a camera for a multi-image scene, the method comprising:
- capturing a first image with the camera;
- generating movement data with a movement detector, the movement data representative of movement of the camera;
- capturing a second image with the camera based on the generated movement data, the first and the second image combinable into a multi-image scene.
A camera comprising:
- a medium for capturing images directed onto the medium;
- a first lens for directing images onto the medium;
- a movement detector for generating movement data based on movement of the camera;
- and
- a controller coupled to the movement detector for identifying appropriate times to capture images based on the movement data.
