Abstract
A computer implemented method for initiating capture of an image on a computer system, performed by the computer system that is programmed to perform the method includes determining by a physical sensor of the computer system, a change in physical state of the computer system, wherein the change in physical state is associated with a magnitude of change in physical state, determining by the computer system, whether the magnitude of change in physical state by the physical sensor exceeds a threshold level, determining by the computer system, a plurality of parameters for a camera associated with the computer system, and initiating by the computer system, capture of one or more images using the camera after the magnitude of change in physical state by the physical sensor exceeds the threshold level.
