Claim:
1. A method for determining a change in a pixel density requirement due to a change in image quality, the method comprising: receiving information corresponding to a camera setting which is automatically modified by the camera to compensate for changes in a light condition to which the camera is subjected, wherein the camera setting affects the quality of images captured by the camera and includes at least one of a gain and an exposure time used by the camera when capturing images; detecting a change in the camera setting; determining to change the pixel density requirement in response to detecting a change in the camera setting, the pixel density requirement corresponding to a minimum number of pixels per unit length or unit area of an object in images captured by a camera; identifying an adjusted level of zoom for the camera in response to determining to change the pixel density requirement; and generating a control signal to adjust a field of view of the camera based on the adjusted level of zoom for the camera.
