Patent ID: 8655893

Claim:
A method for organizing images from multiple image capture devices, comprising: sequencing images captured by a first image capture device based on the image capture times recorded by the first image capture device; sequencing images captured by a second image capture device based on the image capture times recorded by the second image capture device; determining an offset between image capture times recorded in the first image capture device and image capture times recorded in the second image capture device, wherein the step of determining an offset comprises: sampling image counts of images captured by the first image capture device at a first time interval to create a first image count distribution (ICD); sampling image counts of images captured by the second image capture device at the first time interval to create a second ICD; computing a first correlation function between the first ICD and the second ICD by a computer; and using the first correlation function to determine a first value for the offset between image capture times in the first image capture device and the second image capture device; 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 by a computer processor.
