Abstract
A method of enhancing pictures recorded by a digital imaging device, including, activating the imaging device to record a burst of multiple consecutive digital pictures, recording the pictures of the burst, selecting one of the digital pictures of the burst to serve as a base picture, estimating alignment of each picture to compensate for motion relative to the base picture, enhancing the base picture by combining with details from the other recorded pictures of the burst while compensating for the motion, providing the enhanced picture as output.

A method of enhancing pictures recorded by a digital imaging device, comprising:
- activating the imaging device to record a burst of multiple consecutive digital pictures;
- recording the pictures of the burst;
- selecting one of the digital pictures of the burst to serve as a base picture;
- estimating alignment of each picture to compensate for motion relative to the base picture;
- enhancing the base picture by combining with details from the other recorded pictures of the burst while compensating for the motion;
- providing the enhanced picture as output.
An imaging device for enhancing pictures, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- a program;
- a digital image recording element;
- wherein the imaging device is activated to record a burst of multiple consecutive digital pictures, select one of the digital pictures of the burst to serve as a base picture;
- estimate alignment of each picture to compensate for motion relative to the base picture;
- execute the program using the processor and memory to enhance the base picture by combining with details from the other recorded pictures of the burst while compensating for the motion;
- and provide the enhanced picture as output.
