Reducing effects of light diffraction in under display camera (UDC) systems

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• at least one under display camera positioned under the display;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• obtain, using the at least one under display camera, one or more first image frames associated with a first diffraction pattern and one or more second image frames associated with a second diffraction pattern, the first diffraction pattern and the second diffraction pattern related through a transformation;
• generate a first deblurred image using the one or more first image frames and a second deblurred image using the one or more second image frames;
• and
• combine the first and second deblurred images while exploiting complementary types of image artifacts created by the first and second diffraction patterns to generate an image of a scene.

A non-transitory machine readable medium containing instructions that when executed cause at least one processor of an electronic device to:

• obtain, using at least one under display camera, one or more first image frames associated with a first diffraction pattern and one or more second image frames associated with a second diffraction pattern, the first diffraction pattern and the second diffraction pattern related through a transformation;
• generate a first deblurred image using the one or more first image frames and a second deblurred image using the one or more second image frames;
• and
• combine the first and second deblurred images while exploiting complementary types of image artifacts created by the first and second diffraction patterns to generate an image of a scene.
