Claim One:
1. A method comprising: capturing image sensor data from an interleaved image sensor that includes a first portion of pixels exposed for a first exposure time and a second portion of pixels exposed for a second exposure time that is less than the first exposure time by: resetting the pixels in the first portion at a first reset time, resetting the pixels in the second portion at a second reset time, and sampling the pixels in the first portion and the second portion after a sampling time has elapsed since the first reset time; receiving the image sensor data from the interleaved image sensor; identifying a first subset of pixels in the second portion having an intensity value above a first threshold value; identifying a second subset of pixels in the first portion having an intensity value below a second threshold value; and generating high-dynamic range (HDR) data based on the first subset and the second subset, wherein the difference between the sampling time and the first reset time is equal to the first exposure time and the difference between the sampling time and the second reset time is equal to the second exposure time.
