Abstract
According to some embodiments of the present invention, pre-capture information is acquired, and based at least upon an analysis of the pre capture information, it may be determined that a multiple-image capture is to be performed, where the multiple-image capture is configured to acquire multiple images for synthesis into a single image. Subsequently, execution of the multiple-image capture is performed.
Claims16
A method implemented at least in part by a data processing system, the method for controlling an image capture and comprising the steps of:
- acquiring pre-capture information;
- determining that a multiple image capture is appropriate based at least upon an analysis of the pre-capture information, wherein the multiple-image capture is configured to acquire multiple images for synthesis into a single image;
- and
- instructing execution of the multiple-image capture.
A processor-accessible memory system storing instructions configured to cause a data processing system to implement a method for controlling an image capture, wherein the instructions comprise:
- instructions for acquiring pre-capture information;
- instructions for determining that a multiple-image capture is appropriate based at least upon an analysis of the pre-capture information, wherein the multiple-image capture is configured to acquire multiple images for synthesis into a single image;
- and
- instructions for instructing execution of the multiple-image capture.
A system comprising:
- a data processing system;
- and
- a memory system communicatively connected to the data processing system and storing instructions configured to cause the data processing system to implement a method for controlling an image capture, wherein the instructions comprise:
- instructions for acquiring pre-capture information;
- instructions for determining that a multiple-image capture is appropriate based at least upon an analysis of the pre-capture information, wherein the multiple-image capture is configured to acquire multiple images for synthesis into a single image;
- and
- instructions for instructing execution of the multiple-image capture.
