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 multiple video frames. The method also includes determining whether a bi-directional optical flow between the multiple video frames satisfies an image quality criterion for bi-directional consistency. The method further includes identifying a non-linear curve based on pixel coordinate values from at least two of the video frames. The at least two video frames include first and second video frames. The method also includes generating interpolated video frames between the first and second video frames by applying non-linear interpolation based on the non-linear curve. In addition, the method includes outputting the interpolated video frames for presentation.

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.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining, using at least one processor, first and second input image frames, where the first and second input image frames are associated with first and second image planes, respectively. The method also includes obtaining, using the at least one processor, a depth map associated with the first input image frame. The method further includes producing another version of the depth map by performing one or more times: (a) projecting, using the at least one processor, the first input image frame to the second image plane in order to produce a projected image frame using (i) the depth map and (ii) information identifying a conversion from the first image plane to the second image plane and (b) adjusting, using the at least one processor, at least one of the depth map and the information identifying the conversion from the first image plane to the second image plane.
