Abstract
A method for generating a combined image that comprises, during capturing a sequence comprising a plurality of initial images, detecting a subset of the plurality of images having no substantial motion thereamong, combining data from the subset to produce a combined image, and outputting the combined image.
Claims26
A method for generating a combined image, comprising:
- while capturing a sequence comprising a plurality of initial images,
- a) detecting a subset of said plurality of images having no substantial motion thereamong;
- b) combining data from said subset to produce a combined image;
- and
- c) outputting said combined image.
