A method of producing a digital image with reduced object motion blur, includes capturing at least a first and second digital image of a scene using an exposure time that reduces image blur; combining pixels of the first digital image to produce a third digital image which is brighter than the first and second digital images and has a lower resolution than either the first or second digital images; identifying static and moving regions between the first and second digital images; operating on the first and second digital images to produce a fourth digital image which is brighter than the first and second digital images and has object motion blur; and replacing the moving regions in the fourth digital image with corresponding regions from the third digital image to thereby provide a fifth digital image with reduced object motion blur and increased brightness.

摘要:
A system and method for determining and correcting for imaging device motion during an exposure is provided. According to various embodiments of the present invention, multiple sets of image pixels are defined on an image sensor, where each set of pixels is at least partially contained in the output image area of the image sensor. Signals from each set of image pixels are read out once or more during an exposure, motion estimates are computed using signal readouts from one or more sets of image pixels, and signal readouts from one or more sets of the image pixels are processed to form the final output image.

A method of identifying the activity of a camera used for capturing an image or video, such activity not being related to the activity of subjects of the scene being captured includes determining a steadiness signal related to movement of the camera while capturing an image or video, wherein the steadiness signal identifies the motion of the camera in at least two dimensions as a function of time; and using a processor for determining a camera activity classification for the camera based on an analysis of the steadiness signal, wherein the camera activity classification includes categories of the camera being stationary, the camera being located in a moving vehicle, the camera being held by hand, or the camera being held by a jogging or walking user.
