Claim One:
1. A non-transitory program storage device, readable by a programmable control device and comprising instructions stored thereon to cause the programmable control device to: obtain a first image of a scene from a camera at a first time using a first exposure value; obtain a second image of the scene from the camera at a second, later time using a second exposure value, wherein the first and second images share an overlapping region, the overlapping region comprising a plurality of pixels from the first image and a corresponding plurality of pixels from the second image, each pixel having a pixel value comprising one or more of a luminance value and a chrominance value; determine an exposure ratio value based on the first exposure value and the second exposure value; determine an updated pixel value for one or more of the plurality of pixels in the second image based, at least in part, on the determined exposure ratio value; update the pixel values of the one or more pixels from the plurality of pixels in the second image to be equal to the corresponding determined updated pixel values; and combine at least some of the pixels having the updated pixel values from the second image with corresponding pixels from the first image to generate a wide area-of-view image.
