Imaging system with delayed verification image presentation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operating an imaging system, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a trigger signal;
capturing an image of a scene in response to the trigger signal;
presenting the captured image;
determining a verification mode;
ending the presentation of the captured image at a first ending time when a first verification mode is determined; and
ending the presentation of the captured image at a second ending time when a second verification mode is determined, wherein the step of determining a verification mode comprises automatically determining a verification mode based upon analysis of the captured image.

Abstract
An imaging system and method are provided. In accordance with the method a trigger signal is detected and an image of a scene is captured in response to the trigger signal. The image is presented. A verification mode is determined and the presentation of the captured image is ended at a first ending time when a first verification mode is determined the presentation of the captured image is ended at a second ending time when a second verification mode is determined.

1. A method for operating an imaging system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a trigger signal; capturing an image of a scene in response to the trigger signal; presenting the captured image; determining a verification mode; ending the presentation of the captured image at a first ending time when a first verification mode is determined; and ending the presentation of the captured image at a second ending time when a second verification mode is determined, wherein the step of determining a verification mode comprises automatically determining a verification mode based upon analysis of the captured image.

2. A method for operating an imaging system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a trigger signal; capturing an archival image of a scene in response to the trigger signal; presenting the captured image; determining a verification mode; ending the presentation of the captured image at a first ending time when a first verification mode is determined; and ending the presentation of the captured image at a second ending time when a second verification mode is determined, wherein the step of ending the presentation of the captured image at a second ending time comprises the steps of capturing additional images of the scene after the image has been captured, analyzing the additional images, and automatically determining the second ending time based upon the analysis of the additional images. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)

6. A method for operating an imaging system, the method comprising:
-
detecting a trigger signal; detecting a separated capture mode signal; capturing an archival mage in response to the trigger signal; providing an evaluation image that corresponds to the archival image; presenting the evaluation image; ending presentation of the evaluation image at a first ending time after the trigger signal when a separated capture mode signal is not detected; and ending presentation of the evaluation image at a second ending time after the trigger signal when a separated capture mode signal is detected; wherein the second ending time is after the first ending time, further comprising the steps of analyzing the scene captured in the archival image and determining a second ending time based upon analysis of the scene.

7. An imaging system comprising:
-
a trigger system having a trigger circuit generating a trigger signal; an image capture system adapted to capture an image of a scene in response the trigger signal; a display for presenting images; and a processor adapted to receive the captured image, to form an evaluation image for presentation on the display, and to cause the display to present the evaluation image; wherein said processor determines a verification mode and ends the presentation of the captured image at a first time when a first verification mode is determined and ends the presentation of the evaluation image at second time when a second verification mode is determined; and wherein the processor determines the verification mode based upon analysis of the captured image.

8. An imaging system comprising:
-
a trigger system having a trigger circuit generating a trigger signal; an image capture system adapted to capture an image of a scene in response the trigger signal; a display for presenting images; and a processor adapted to receive the captured image, to form an evaluation image for presentation on the display, and to cause the display to present the evaluation image; wherein said processor determines a verification mode and ends the presentation of the captured image at a first time when a first verification mode is determined and ends the presentation of the evaluation image at second time when a second verification mode is determined; and wherein the processor causes the image capture system to capture additional images after the image is captured and analyzes the additional images to determine the second starting time.

9. An imaging system comprising:
-
a separated capture mode detector; a trigger system having a trigger circuit adapted to generate a trigger signal; an image capture system adapted to capture an archival image in response to the trigger signal; a display for presenting images; and
,a processor receiving the captured archival image, processing the captured archival image to form an evaluation image and causing the display to present the evaluation image; wherein the processor ends presentation of the evaluation image at a first ending time after the trigger signal when a separated capture mode signal is not detected and ends presentation of the captured image at a second ending time after the trigger signal when a separated capture mode signal is detected; and
wherein the second ending time is after the first ending time, andwherein the processor determines the amount of time that the second ending time is after the first ending time is based upon analysis of the archival image.
