Claim 2:
3. The method of claim 2, the step of evaluating if motion compensation is possible and/or necessary comprising determining that motion compensation is possible and/or necessary only when:
(a) the pixel values of the long-exposure-time pixels of the local region and associated with the color meet a below-saturation criterion;
(b) if the color is different from the first color, the pixel values of the long-exposure-time pixels of the local region and associated with the first color meet the below-saturation criterion; or
(c) if the pixel values of the long-exposure-time pixels of the local region and associated with the first color meet the below-saturation criterion, disparity between the short-exposure-time pixels and long-exposure-time pixels of the local region and associated with the first color exceed a disparity threshold associated with sensor-noise-related pixel value variation.
