REFERENCE FRAME SELECTION FOR MULTI-FRAME IMAGE PROCESSING PIPELINES AND OTHER APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18474783 titled 'REFERENCE FRAME SELECTION FOR MULTI-FRAME IMAGE PROCESSING PIPELINES AND OTHER APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The method involves selecting image frames with different exposure levels based on the presence of moving saturated regions.
- Obtaining multiple image frames with varying exposure levels using a processing device.
- Determining the presence of moving saturated regions in some of the image frames.
- Selecting a reference frame based on the presence or absence of moving saturated regions.
- Choosing a frame with a longer exposure level when moving saturated regions are not present.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in photography, videography, and surveillance systems to improve image quality in challenging lighting conditions.
Problems Solved
This method helps to avoid overexposure in images by selecting the appropriate exposure level based on the presence of moving saturated regions.
Benefits
- Enhanced image quality in varying lighting conditions - Reduction of overexposed areas in images - Improved accuracy in capturing moving objects
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes obtaining, using at least one processing device of an electronic device, multiple image frames having different exposure levels. The method also includes determining whether a moving saturated region is present in at least some of the image frames. The method further includes selecting one of the image frames as a reference frame, where the selected image frame depends on whether the moving saturated region is present in at least some of the image frames. The selected image frame may have a first exposure level when the moving saturated region is present in at least some of the image frames, and the selected image frame may have a second exposure level longer than the first exposure level when the moving saturated region is not present in the image frames.
