Abstract
An imaging device includes one or more processors; and a computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the imaging device to perform functions including: capturing a first image and thereafter a second image; making a determination of whether or not a difference between the first image and the second image is greater than a threshold value; generating a third image by processing the second image using an image processing algorithm that corresponds to the determination; and displaying the third image.
Claims20
An imaging device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the imaging device to perform functions comprising:
- capturing a first image and thereafter a second image;
- processing the second image using a spatial filter to generate a third image in response to determining that a first difference between the first image and the second image is greater than a threshold value, wherein the spatial filter includes a median filter or a Gaussian filter;
- or
- processing the first image and the second image using a temporal filter to generate the third image in response to determining that a second difference between the first image and the second image is less than the threshold value;
- and
- displaying the third image.
A method comprising:
- capturing a first image and thereafter a second image;
- processing the second image using a spatial filter to generate a third image in response to determining that a first difference between the first image and the second image is greater than a threshold value, wherein the spatial filter includes a median filter or a Gaussian filter;
- or
- processing the first image and the second image using a temporal filter to generate the third image in response to determining that a second difference between the first image and the second image is less than the threshold value;
- and
- displaying the third image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by an imaging device, cause the imaging device to perform functions comprising:
- capturing a first image and thereafter a second image;
- processing the second image using a spatial filter to generate a third image in response to determining that a first difference between the first image and the second image is greater than a threshold value, wherein the spatial filter includes a median filter or a Gaussian filter;
- or
- processing the first image and the second image using a temporal filter to generate the third image in response to determining that a second difference between the first image and the second image is less than the threshold value;
- and
- displaying the third image.
