Abstract
An image capture system comprises an image input and processing unit. The image input obtains image information which is then passed to the processing unit. The processing unit is coupled to the image input for determining image metrics on the image information. The processing unit initiates a capture sequence when the image metrics meet a predetermined condition. The capture sequence may store one or more images, or it may indicate that one or more images have been detected. In one embodiment, the image input is a CMOS or CCD sensor.
Claims20
A method of detecting that an image meets a predetermined image profile, comprising:
- sampling a first image;
- determining an image metric for the first image;
- comparing the image metric for the first image with the predetermined image profile;
- and
- storing the first image when the image metric for the first image matches the predetermined image profile.
A machine readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed, cause a machine to perform a set of operations comprising:
- sampling a first image;
- determining an image metric for the first image;
- comparing the image metric for the first image with the predetermined image profile;
- and
- storing the first image when the image metric for the first image matches the predetermined image profile.
