Abstract
A method for systematic generation of one or more image groups to relate a plurality of images as a single group includes providing an image command sequence. The image command sequence controls an image capture session comprising one of a plurality of capture types, and further includes a first command, the first command initiating the image capture session and formation of a first group, a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters characterizing the first group as one of at least two image capture group formats, and a second command, the second command ending the image capture session, wherein the image command sequence results in the single group of related images, and wherein the related plurality of images are identified through use of the single group. A system includes a digital image capture device, the digital image capture device capable of capturing and processing image data, and a central processing unit within the digital image capture device. The central processing unit capably coordinates an image command sequence, the image command sequence controlling an image capture session and including a first command, the first command initiating the image capture session and formation of a first group, a plurality of parameters, and a second command, the second command ending the image capture session, wherein the image command sequence results in the single group of related images.
