Determining trigger rate for a digital camera
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates determining a trigger rate for a digital camera mounted to a moving vehicle, the system comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that comprises a plurality of components that are executed by the processor, the plurality of components comprising;
a receiver component that receives;
first data pertaining to a distance between the digital camera and at least one surface desirably imaged by the digital camera, the first data received from a first sensor; and
second data that is indicative of the velocity of the moving vehicle, the second data received from a velocity sensor;
a rate determiner component that is in communication with the receiver component, wherein the rate determiner component determines the trigger rate for the digital camera based at least in part upon the first data and the second data; and
a trigger component that causes the digital camera to capture images in accordance with the trigger rate determined by the rate determiner component.

Abstract
A system that facilitates determining a trigger rate for a digital camera to provide a threshold forward overlap for consecutively captured images is described herein. The system includes a receiver component that receives first data pertaining to a distance between the digital camera and a surface. The system additionally includes a rate determiner component that is in communication with the receiver component, wherein the rate determiner component determines the trigger rate for the digital camera based at least in part upon the first data, wherein the trigger rate is indicative of an amount of time between consecutive images captured by the digital camera.

13. A method for determining a trigger rate for a digital camera, comprising:
-
receiving, from a first sensor, first data that is indicative of a distance from the digital camera to at least one surface that is desirably photographed by the digital camera; receiving, from a velocity sensor, second data that is indicative of a velocity of the digital camera, wherein the digital camera is mounted on a moving vehicle; determining the trigger rate for the digital camera based at least in part upon the received first data and the received second data, wherein the trigger rate is indicative of an amount of time between consecutive images captured by the digital camera; and configuring the digital camera to capture images in accordance with the determined trigger rate, wherein the method is executed by a processor of a computing device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable data storage device comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:
-
determining, based upon data received from a first sensor, a distance between at least one surface desirably photographed and a digital camera that is to photograph the at least one surface, the digital camera being mounted on a moving vehicle; determining, based upon data received from a second velocity sensor, a velocity of the moving vehicle; determining a trigger rate for the digital camera based at least in part upon the distance between the at least one surface and the digital camera and the velocity of the moving vehicle, wherein the trigger rate is indicative of an amount of time between consecutive images captured by the digital camera; and transmitting a signal to the digital camera, the signal causing the digital camera to capture images in accordance with the trigger rate.
