Abstract:
A method for intelligent image recording, comprising:receiving from an image source a first image comprising a plurality of first image pixels; receiving from the image source a second image comprising a plurality of second image pixels, each second image pixel corresponding with one of the plurality of first image pixels; determining a color value for each first image pixel; determining a color value for each second image pixel; for each second image pixel, determining a variation amount between the color value of the second image pixel and the color value of the first image pixel corresponding with the second image pixel, and determining whether the variation amount exceeds a color value range; determining the number of the plurality of second image pixels for which the variation amount exceeds the color value range; determining a pixel ratio for the second image, the pixel ratio comprising the number of second image pixels for which the variation amount exceeds the color value range in proportion to the number of the plurality of second image pixels; and recording the second image if the pixel ratio exceeds a predetermined pixel ratio value.
