Abstract
A method of forming a visual representation of an object from a plurality of image frames acquired using a portable electronic device, the method comprising the steps of determining at least one parameter of motion of the portable electronic device; determining at least one capture condition for at least one first image frame of the plurality of image frames; computing, based on the at least one parameter of motion and the at least one capture condition, an indication of blur in the image frame; based on the indication of blur, conditionally taking a corrective action.
Claims23
A method of forming a visual representation of an object from a plurality of image frames acquired using a portable electronic device, the method comprising:
- determining at least one parameter of motion of the portable electronic device;
- determining at least one capture condition for at least one first image frame of the plurality of image frames;
- computing, based on the at least one parameter of motion and the at least one capture condition, an indication of blur in the image frame;
- based on the indication of blur, conditionally taking a corrective action.
A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a camera;
- a user interface;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- form an image of an object from a plurality of image frames captured with the camera;
- determine at least one parameter of motion of the portable electronic device;
- determine at least one capture condition for the camera;
- compute, based on the at least one parameter of motion and the at least one capture condition, at least one adjusted capture condition;
- selectively:
- generate control signals that control at least one component of the portable electronic device to operate in accordance with the adjusted capture condition;
- and
- based on the at least one adjusted capture condition, present via the user interface a message providing information relating to user operation of the portable electronic device.
-28. (canceled)
At least one non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, perform a method of forming an image of an object from a plurality of image frames captured with a camera of a portable electronic device, the method comprising:
- determining at least one parameter of motion of the portable electronic device;
- determining at least one capture condition for the camera;
- computing, based on the at least one parameter of motion and the at least one capture condition, at least one adjusted capture condition;
- selectively:
- generating control signals that control at least one component of the portable electronic device to operate in accordance with the adjusted capture condition;
- and
- based on the at least one adjusted capture condition, present via a user interface a message providing information relating to user operation of the portable electronic device.
