Abstract
In one example, a digital image capture unit comprises a gated image sensor configured to operate multiple sensor exposure events per a single image frame readout. The digital image capture unit further comprises a motion monitor configured to monitor motion related to the digital image capture unit. The digital image capture unit further comprises a controller configured to instruct the gated image sensor to discard a sensor exposure event of the multiple sensor exposure events in response to a temporally corresponding monitored motion related to the digital image capture unit failing to meet a motion requirement.
