Claim One:
1. An imaging device comprising: an imaging sensor having a photosensitive surface with a plurality of pixel sensors; at least one memory device; and at least one computer processor, wherein the at least one computer processor is configured to at least: identify a first color image captured using the imaging sensor, wherein the first color image comprises a first plurality of image pixels; define a blur image based at least in part on contents of the first plurality of image pixels; define a plurality of regions of image pixels within the blur image, wherein each of the regions comprises image pixels having substantially similar content; select a first region of the plurality of regions of image pixels of the blur image, the first region comprising image pixels having a level of blur that is greater than levels of blur of other regions of the plurality of regions; identify a first subset of the plurality of pixel sensors of the photosensitive surface corresponding to the first region of the blur image; expose the first subset of the plurality of pixel sensors to light for a first predetermined period of time; digitize a first set of signals generated in response to the exposure of the first subset of the pixel sensors to light for the first predetermined period of time; and store a second color image comprising the digitized first set of signals in the at least one memory device.
