In a method for determining the frame rate and exposure time for each frame of
a video collection, an image capture system acquires at least two successive frames
of a scene, separated in time. The two images are compared to determine if objects
in the scene are in motion. If motion is detected, then the speed and displacement
of the objects that are moving is determined. If the speed of the fastest moving
object creates an unacceptable amount of image displacement, then the frame rate
for the next frame is changed to one that produces an acceptable amount of image
displacement. Also, if the speed of the fastest moving object creates an unacceptable
amount of motion blur, then the exposure time for the next frame is changed to
one that produces an acceptable amount of motion blur.
