Claim One:
1. A method comprising: capturing, by an image sensor of a camera device, a first captured image of a scene and a second captured image of the scene, wherein the first captured image and the second captured image were captured less than 1 second apart; for a plurality of m×n pixel tiles of the first captured image, determining, by the camera device, respective distance matrixes, wherein the distance matrixes represent respective fit confidences between the m×n pixel tiles and pluralities of target p×q pixel tiles in the second captured image; approximating, by the camera device, the distance matrixes with respective bivariate quadratic surfaces; upsampling, by the camera device, the bivariate quadratic surfaces to obtain respective offsets for pixels in the plurality of m×n pixel tiles, such that the respective offsets, when applied to pixels in the plurality of m×n pixel tiles, cause parts of the first captured image to estimate locations in the second captured image; selecting, by the camera device, one of the first captured image or the second captured image for warping; based on the respective offsets, moving, by the camera device, pixels of the selected image to create a warped image; and combining, by the camera device, respective pixel values of the warped image and the non-selected image to form a composite image, wherein the composite image is a de-noised representation of the first captured image and the second captured image.
