Organizing images captured by multiple image capture devices

摘要

A method for organizing images from multiple image capture devices includes allowing the determination of an offset between image capture times recorded in a first image capture device and image capture times recorded in a second image capture device, adjusting the image capture times recorded in the second image capture device by the offset to produce adjusted image capture times by a computer processor, and sequencing images taken by the first image capture device and the second image capture device in an chronological order. The sequencing is based on the image capture times for the images captured by the first image capture device and the adjusted image capture times for the images captured by the second image capture device.

1. A method for organizing images from multiple image capture devices, comprising:
sampling image counts of images captured by a first image capture device to produce a first image count distribution (ICD) based on image capture times; sampling image counts of images captured by a second image capture device to produce a second ICD based on image capture times; computing a first correlation function between the first ICD and the second ICD; determining a first value for an offset between image capture times recorded in the first image capture device and image capture times recorded the second image capture device at least in part based on the first correlation function by a computer processor; and adjusting the image capture times recorded in the second image capture device by the first value for the offset to produce adjusted image capture times.
