Selective motion distortion correction within image frames

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory storing processor-readable code;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
• receiving a first image frame and a second image frame;
• determining a motion map based on the second image frame and the first image frame;
• determining, based on the motion map, a region of the second image frame having motion that satisfies at least one criteria;
• and
• determining a corrected image frame by applying a temporal filtering process to the region.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first image frame and a second image frame;
• determining a motion map based on the second image frame and the first image frame;
• determining, based on the motion map, a region of the second image frame having motion that satisfies at least one criteria;
• and
• determining a corrected image frame by applying a temporal filtering process to the region.

An image capture device, comprising:

• an image sensor;
• a memory storing processor-readable code;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and to the image sensor, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to:
• receive a first image frame and a second image frame in image data received from the image sensor;
• determine a motion map based on the second image frame and the first image frame;
• determine, based on the motion map, a region of the second image frame having motion that satisfies at least one criteria;
• and
• determine a corrected image frame by applying a temporal filtering process to the region.
