Claim 15:
16. A system comprising:
a dual-context camera that provides a series of color video frames and a series of grayscale video frames, the series of color video frames and the series of grayscale video frames being interleaved as to form a series of pairs of frames, each comprising a color video frame and a grayscale video frame;
an image merger that generates a composite image for each pair of frames in the series of frames, the composite image comprising a set of brightness values from the grayscale video frame and a set of chrominance values from the color video frame; and
a color video source that replaces the grayscale video frame in each of the series of pairs of frames with the composite image generated for the pair of frames to provide a color video stream, such that the color video stream comprises the first series of color video frames and the composite image generated for each pair of frames of the series of pairs of frames.
