Imaging method and system for associating images and metadata

摘要

In accordance with the present invention, an imaging system and method for operating an imaging system is provided. The imaging system has a metadata source adapted to generated a metadata signal in response to a manual metadata input action and a trigger system for generating a trigger signal in response to a trigger condition. An image capture system adapted to capture images is provided. A processor is operable to cause an image to be recorded only when the processor receives both a trigger signal and a metadata signal that uniquely correspond to the image.
