REAL TIME ASSESSMENT OF PICTURE QUALITY
First Claim
1. A method for computing photo quality of a captured image in a digital image acquisition system, comprising an image capture component for capturing in a buffer, a current digital image having pixels, where said method comprising combining of:
- a plurality of quality indicators computed from at least one of;
said captured image pixels, camera module 200 current photographic parameters and inertial measurement hardware components readouts;
and combining of at least one time-dependent confidence level Ci(t) computed for at least one quality indicator,where said confidence level is computed via heuristically estimating probability of said quality indicator for said current image and its said parameters;
and determining, based on said combining, a total quality indicator for said photo.

Abstract
A computerized method for computing the photo quality of a captured image in a device image acquisition system, comprising on-board combining of a plurality of quality indicators computed from said captured image and its previous image frames quality indicators and a confidence level for at least one of said quality indicators, and using a processor to determine, based on said combining, whether photo quality is acceptable and taking differential action depending on whether quality is or is not acceptable.

7. A method for computing photo quality of a captured image in a digital image acquisition system, comprising an image capture component for capturing in a buffer, a current digital image having pixels, where said method comprising combining of:
-
a plurality of quality indicators computed for said photo; and combining of at least one time-dependent confidence level Ci(t) computed for at least one quality indicator, where said confidence level is based on previous quality indicators made in close succession from stream of frames that came just before said current photo frame, as done is video frames; and determining, based on said combining, a total quality indicator for said photo. - View Dependent Claims (8, 10, 11, 13)
