Patent Images
1. A method of recording and processing a digital motion image sequence, comprising the steps of:
- a) recording a digital motion image sequence at a capture frame rate;
b) determining different effective image content change rates as a function of the scene content changes in different portions of the image sequence; and
c) processing the digital motion image sequence to produce a processed digital motion image sequence having portions with the selected effective change rates.
