  • Capture condition selection from brightness and motion
    Patent number: 8558913
    Abstract: A model based method for capturing an improved archival image, including capturing at least two preview images of a scene that are analyzed for scene brightness and motion velocity in the scene. The analyzed data is used to calculate a ratio of pixel signal rate/pixel velocity which is used to select a capture mode, an ISO and an exposure time for capturing the archival image.
    Type: Grant
