Abstract:
A method for multi-frame blending includes obtaining at least two image frames of a scene. One of the image frames is associated with a shorter exposure time and a higher sensitivity and representing a reference image frame. At least one other of the image frames is associated with a longer exposure time and a lower sensitivity and representing at least one non-reference image frame. The method also includes blending the reference and non-reference image frames into a blended image such that (i) one or more motion regions of the blended image are based more on the reference image frame and (ii) one or more stationary regions of the blended image are based more on the at least one non-reference image frame.
