Claim One:
1. A computing device, comprising: a camera; a display element; at least one processor; and memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to: acquire, by the camera, a first image representing a first portion of a first scene; acquire, by the camera, a second image representing a second portion of the first scene, the first image and the second image being captured during a first period of time the camera is panned, wherein the first image and the second image are at least partially overlapping; determine a first dynamic range of the first scene; determine a first amount of overlap for registering a first pair of images corresponding to the first dynamic range; acquire, by the camera, a third image of a first portion of a second scene; acquire, by the camera, a fourth image of a second portion of the second scene, the third image and the fourth image being captured during a second period of time the camera is panned, wherein the third image and the fourth image are at least partially overlapping; determine a second dynamic range of the second scene, the second dynamic range representing a greater dynamic range than the first dynamic range; determine a second amount of overlap for registering a second pair of images corresponding to the second dynamic range, the second amount of overlap representing a greater amount of overlap than the first amount of overlap; determine that a third amount of overlap between the third image and the fourth image is below the second amount of overlap; and present, on the display element of the computing device, a visual indicator including information for reducing a panning speed of the camera.
