Image quality (iq) improvement

A method for image processing, the method comprising:

• capturing, by one or more red green blue white (RGBW) sensors, one or more first image frames of a scene with a first exposure at a sensor frame rate;
• capturing, by the one or more RGBW sensors, one or more second image frames of the scene with a second exposure at the sensor frame rate, wherein the second exposure is lower than the first exposure;
• blending red green blue (RGB) components of each image frame of the one or more first image frames with RGB components of a respective adjacent second image frame of the one or more second image frames to produce one or more blended image frames;
• and
• applying a white component of each image frame of the one or more second image frames to a respective blended image frame of the one or more blended image frames.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

• obtain one or more first image frames of a scene captured by one or more red green blue white (RGBW) sensors with a first exposure at a sensor frame rate;
• obtain one or more second image frames of the scene captured by the one or more RGBW sensors with a second exposure at the sensor frame rate, wherein the second exposure is lower than the first exposure;
• blend red green blue (RGB) components of each image frame of the one or more first image frames with RGB components of a respective adjacent second image frame of the one or more second image frames to produce one or more blended image frames;
• and
• apply a white component of each image frame of the one or more second image frames to a respective blended image frame of the one or more blended image frames.

An apparatus for processing one or more images, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
• obtain one or more first image frames of a scene captured by one or more red yellow blue (RYYB) sensors with a first exposure at a sensor frame rate;
• obtain one or more second image frames of the scene captured by the one or more RYYB sensors with a second exposure at the sensor frame rate, wherein the second exposure is lower than the first exposure;
• blend at least one color component of each image frame of the one or more first image frames with at least one color component of a respective adjacent second image frame of the one or more second image frames to produce one or more blended image frames;
• and
• generate at least one output frame comprising one or more color components from the one or more blended image frames and at least one additional color component from each image frame of the one or more first image frames.

A method for processing one or more images, the method comprising:

• blending at least one color component of each image frame of the one or more first image frames with at least one color component of a respective adjacent second image frame of the one or more second image frames to produce one or more blended image frames;
• and
• generating at least one output frame comprising one or more color components from the one or more blended image frames and at least one additional color component from each image frame of the one or more first image frames.
