Abstract:
Embodiments relate to circuitry for performing fusion of two images captured with two different exposure times to generate a fused image having a higher dynamic range. Information about first keypoints is extracted from the first image by processing pixel values of pixels in the first image. A model describing correspondence between the first image and the second image is then built by processing at least the information about first keypoints. A processed version of the first image is warped using mapping information in the model to generate a warped version of the first image spatially more aligned to the second image than to the first image. The warped version of the first image is fused with a processed version of the second image to generate the fused image.
