IMAGE ACQUISITION AND MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a camera;
a display;
one or more processors;
one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; and
an image acquisition application executing on the mobile device, wherein the image acquisition application is configured to;
receive an identification of a reference image of one or more objects,retrieve, for the reference image, metadata that specifies a distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired,determine a current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects,determine a difference between the distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired and the current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, andautomatically adjust one or more camera settings for the camera of the mobile device based upon the difference between the distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired and the current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, wherein the one or more camera settings after the adjustment are different than the one or more settings prior to the adjustment.

Abstract
A reference image of one or more objects is displayed on the display of a mobile device in a manner that allows a user of the mobile device to simultaneously view the reference image and a preview image of the one or more objects currently in a field of view of a camera of the mobile device. An indication is provided to the user of the mobile device whether the camera of the mobile device is currently located within a specified amount of a distance at which the reference image was acquired. In response to a user request, the camera acquires a second image of the one or more objects and optionally a distance between the camera and the one or more objects at the time the second image was acquired is recorded. An image management application provides various functionalities for accessing and managing image sequences.

9. A one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions which, when processed by one or more processors, cause:
an image acquisition application executing on a mobile device to; receive an identification of a reference image of one or more objects, retrieve, for the reference image, metadata that specifies a distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired, determine a current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, determine a difference between the distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired and the current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, and automatically adjust one or more camera settings for the camera of the mobile device based upon the difference between the distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired and the current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, wherein the one or more camera settings after the adjustment are different than the one or more settings prior to the adjustment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by an image acquisition application executing on a mobile device, an identification of a reference image of one or more objects, retrieve, for the reference image, metadata that specifies a distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired, determine a current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, determine a difference between the distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired and the current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, and automatically adjust one or more camera settings for the camera of the mobile device based upon the difference between the distance at which the reference image of the one or more objects was acquired and the current distance between the camera of the mobile device and the one or more objects, wherein the one or more camera settings after the adjustment are different than the one or more settings prior to the adjustment. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
