Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, systems may include an image sensor and a processing apparatus. The image sensor captures image data using a plurality of selectable exposure times. The processing apparatus receives a first image from the image sensor captured with a first exposure time and receives a second image from the image sensor captured with a second exposure time that is less than the first exposure time. A high dynamic range image is determined based on the first image and the second image, wherein an image portion of the high dynamic range image is based on a corresponding image portion of the second image when a pixel of a corresponding image portion of the first image is saturated. An output image that is based on the high dynamic range image is stored, displayed, or transmitted.
