    Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one processing device configured to obtain an input image and determine a cumulative distribution function (CDF) histogram from a luminance or luma (Y) channel of the input image. The at least one processing device is also configured to determine an entry CDF histogram in a CDF histogram lookup table (LUT) closest to the determined CDF histogram. The at least one processing device is further configured to apply a Y channel global tone mapping (GTM) curve to the input image based on one or more parameters assigned to the entry CDF histogram from the CDF histogram LUT.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, using at least one image sensor of an electronic device, a first image frame and multiple second image frames of a scene. Each of the second image frames has an exposure time different from an exposure time of the first image frame. The method also includes generating, using at least one processor, blur kernels indicating a motion direction of the first image frame using an optical flow network. The method further includes refining, using the at least one processor, the blur kernels using a convolutional neural network. In addition, the method includes generating, using the at least one processor, a target image frame of the scene using the refined blur kernels and occlusion masks for the second image frames.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining multiple images of a scene using at least one red-green-blue-white (RGBW) image sensor. The method also includes generating multi-channel frames at different exposure levels from the images. The method further includes estimating motion across exposure differences between the different exposure levels using a white channel of the multi-channel frames as a guidance signal to generate multiple motion maps. The method also includes estimating saturation across the exposure differences between the different exposure levels to generate multiple saturation maps. The method further includes using the generated motion maps and saturation maps to recover saturations from the different exposure levels and generate a saturation-free RGBW frame. In addition, the method includes processing the saturation-free RGBW frame to generate a final image of the scene.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, using at least one processor, an image of a scene including image data in each of multiple channels of a color space. The method also includes decomposing a channel of the image into a first base layer and a first detail layer. The method further includes generating a first enhanced detail layer by manipulating a characteristic of the first detail layer. The method also includes decomposing the first base layer into a second base layer and a second detail layer. The method further includes generating a second enhanced detail layer by manipulating a characteristic of the second detail layer. In addition, the method includes combining the first enhanced detail layer, the second enhanced detail layer, and the second base layer to obtain an enhanced image of the scene.

    Abstract: A method includes capturing a plurality of first images using a first image sensor and a plurality of second images using a second image sensor. The method also includes generating a short single view, short depth map, long single view, and long depth map from the first and second images. The method further includes generating a multi-frame depth map using the short single view, short depth map, long single view, and long depth map. The method also includes generating a gain map using the multi-frame depth map and lighting conditions, where the lighting conditions introduce a relighting effect into the gain map. The method further includes generating a relit short single view and a relit long single view by applying the gain map to the short and long single views. In addition, the method includes generating a relit image by fusing the relit short and long single views.
