Abstract
A method and apparatus for night lapse video capture are disclosed. The apparatus includes an image sensor, a processor, a denoiser, and an encoder. The image sensor is configured to capture image data. The processor is configured to process the image data using an image processing pipeline. The denoiser is configured to perform denoising based on a motion estimation that is based on a comparison of a portion of the first image and a portion of the second image. The encoder is configured to encode the denoised image in a video format. The encoder is configured to store a video file in the video format.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining an image and a reference image;
- processing the image and the reference image using an image processing pipeline, wherein processing the image includes:
- converting the image to a YUV image;
- denoising the YUV image to obtain a denoised image;
- encoding the denoised image in a video format;
- and
- storing a video file in the video format.
An image capture device comprising:
- an image sensor configured to obtain an image and a reference image;
- a processor configured to process the image and the reference image using an image processing pipeline, the processor configured to convert the reference image to a YUV reference image;
