Abstract:
Image frames for computational photography may be corrected, such as through rolling shutter correction (RSC), prior to fusion of the image frames to reduce wobble and jitter artifacts present in a video sequence of HDR-enhanced image frames. First and second motion data regarding motion of the image capture device may be determined for times corresponding to the capturing of the first and second image frames, respectively. The rolling shutter correction (RSC) may be applied to the first and second image frames based on both the first and second motion data. The corrected first and second image frames may then be aligned and fused to obtain a single output image frame with higher dynamic range than either of the first or second image frames.
