Capturing selected image objects

An image selection system comprising:

• an image capture module with one or more specified quality parameters for capturing one or more targeted objects that may be incorporated in a field of view, wherein data representing identification of the one or more targeted objects includes at least audio data;
• a user-interface for facilitating selection of a designated targeted object, wherein the user-interface includes at least a data record that identifies the designated targeted object as a point of interest;
• a controller operatively coupled to the data record and configured to activate the image capture module to take multiple exposures of the designated targeted object, wherein the multiple exposures each have different quality characteristics;
• and
• storage media for retaining a stored version of the multiple exposures for future reference, wherein the stored version includes at least a cross-reference association between the multiple exposures of the designated targeted object.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory signal-bearing medium including at least:
• one or more instructions for creating a visual display that represents a field of view of an image capture device;
• one or more instructions for providing a user-interface that enables an identification of possible targeted objects that may be incorporated in the field of view, wherein data representing the identification of the possible targeted objects includes at least audio data;
• one or more instructions for enabling a user to make a selection of one or more particular targeted objects, which selection is identified as a point of interest via the user-interface;
• one or more instructions for initiating operation of the image capture device for obtaining multiple exposures of the selection, wherein at least one exposure has at least one different quality characteristic;
• one or more instructions for creating a stored version of the multiple exposures of the selection for future reference;
• and
• one or more instructions for activating a still image capture device approximately concurrently with activating a video image capture device to obtain the multiple exposures of the selection.

A method of capturing an image comprising:

• creating a visual display that represents a field of view of at least one image capture device;
• providing a user-interface that enables an identification of the one or more targeted objects that may be incorporated in the field of view, the data representing the identification of the one or more targeted objects including at least audio data;
• enabling a user to make a selection from among the at least one or more targeted objects, which selection is identified as a point of interest via the user-interface;
• initiating operation of the at least one image capture device for obtaining multiple exposures of the selection, including at least providing a different quality characteristic for at least one exposure;
• creating a stored version of at least some of the multiple exposures;
• and
• activating a still image capture device approximately concurrently with activating a video image capture device to obtain the multiple exposures of the selection.

An image selection system comprising:

• circuitry for creating a visual display that represents a field of view of at least one image capture device;
• circuitry for providing the user-interface that enables an identification of the one or more targeted objects that may be incorporated in the field of view, the data representing the identification of the one or more targeted objects including at least audio data;
• circuitry for enabling a user to make a selection from among the at least one or more targeted objects, which selection is identified as a point of interest via the user-interface;
• circuitry for initiating operation of the at least one image capture device for obtaining multiple exposures of the selection, including at least providing a different quality characteristic for at least one exposure;
• circuitry for creating a stored version of at least some of the multiple exposures, and
• circuitry for activating a still image capture device approximately concurrently with activating a video image capture device to obtain the multiple exposures of the selection.
