Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for reading a set of images to merge together into a high dynamic range (HDR) output image are described. Images have a respective HDR weight and a respective ghost-free weight. Images are merged together using the weighted average of the set of input images using the ghost-free weight. A difference image is determined based on a difference between each pixel within a HDR output image and each respective pixel within a reference image used to create the HDR output image.
Abstract:
Techniques disclosed herein involve determining motion occurring in a scene between the capture of two successively-captured images of the scene using intensity gradients of pixels within the images. These techniques can be used alone or with other motion-detection techniques to identify where motion has occurred in the scene, which can be further used to reduce artifacts that may be generated when images are combined.
