Abstract:
1. A machine-implemented method of processing a sequence of input images of a scene, comprising: determining a respective set of motion vectors for each of one or more pairs of the input images; segmenting each of two or more of the input images into at least one respective background scene portion and at least one respective foreground scene portion based on respective ones of the motion vectors; stitching together ones of the respective background scene portions segmented from different ones of the input images to form background mosaic image data; enhancing at least one of the foreground scene portions segmented from the input images to form enhanced foreground scene image data, wherein the enhancing comprises increasing image resolution of the at least one foreground scene portion; and generating an output image, wherein the generating comprises combining the background mosaic image data and the enhanced foreground scene image data.
