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; determine a blur metric for each of the first plurality of image pixels; define a blur image based at least in part on the blur metrics 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 a substantially similar blur metric; select a first region of the plurality of regions of image pixels of the blur image, the first region comprising image pixels having blur metrics higher than 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.
