Abstract
A device captures images that are intentionally underexposed to reduce motion-related blur. Image processing is performed on the underexposed images. The processing includes reducing noise and increasing gain in the underexposed images.
Claims21
An image capture device for capturing images that are intentionally underexposed in order to reduce motion-related blur.
An image capture device comprising:
- means for capturing an image that is intentionally underexposed, the image being underexposed to reduce motion-related blur;
- and
- means for reducing noise and increasing gain in the underexposed image.
An image capture device comprising:
- a photosensor array;
- a controller for causing the array to capture underexposed images to reduce motion-related blur;
- and
- an image processor for binning pixels of underexposed digital images to reduce noise and increase gain.
