Abstract:
1. A method for processing an image signal for double or multiple exposure cameras, the method comprising: determining whether fluorescent light is present; if so, ascertaining the period of the fluorescent light; forming a plurality of image signals having different exposure conditions with at least one image pickup sensor, such that at least a long exposure time is made equal to a multiple of the fluorescent light period, and a short exposure time is made equal to a fraction of the long exposure time; correcting at least part of the plurality of image signals with a correction function in order to obtain a corrected output signal; combining at least one of said plurality of image signals and said corrected output signal to form a combined image signal; and applying a gain factor G to the combined image signal, so that at least some image areas are shifted out of a display range.
