Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are provided for tracking image capture compliance with an image capture criteria. Method and system aspects of the exemplary embodiment include providing an image capture plan including a list of images specified for capturing during an image capture occurrence, wherein the list of images is based on at least one image capture subject and constraints associated with the at least one image capture subject; determining a progress towards completing the image capture plan based on whether information is received for an image capture occurrence of the at least one image capture subject by an image capture device; and providing an indication of the progress, the indication identifying at least one image from the group of images that has not been captured.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are provided for tracking image capture compliance with an image capture criteria.

Abstract: An improved pipelined analog to digital converter that facilitates calibration for non-linearity errors and a method for obtaining calibration values. The analog to digital converter has a calibration mode in which the output bits for stages in the pipeline can be coupled to output pins of the device. Device pins that are used in normal operating mode to output the most significant bits of the ADC output are used in calibration mode to make available output bits of a pipeline stage being calibrated. A calibration method takes advantage of the outputs of the stages being directly observable to compute calibration values. The output bits of a pipeline stage are monitored as the analog input to the ADC is increased. A change in these bits identifies a subrange boundary. Errors are measured for values immediately above and immediately below each subrange boundary and used to compute correction factors.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for calibrating one or more signals of an electronic device are provided. Calibration coefficients are stored in a memory, such as a fuse bank, to be applied to correct the one or more signals. A selection multiplexer is provided, the selection multiplexer capable of assigning one of a number of bit weight configurations to the calibration coefficients to set a desired range and resolution for calibration information applied to the one or more signals of the electronic device.
