Patent number: 10261962Abstract: A method for organizing images from multiple image capture devices includes automatically determining a coarse offset between image capture times recorded in a first image capture device and image capture times recorded in a second image capture device. The coarse offset is determined by a computing a correlation between image counts of images captured by the first image capture device and images captured by the first image capture device. The method also includes adjusting the image capture times of images recorded in the second image capture device by the coarse offset to produce adjusted image capture times for images captured by the second image capture device.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Shutterfly, Inc.Inventors: Moshe Bercovich, Alexander M. Kenis, Eran Cohen, Wiley H Wang
