Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for enhancing images captured in low light, the method comprising: capturing, using a first monochromatic camera of a computing device, first monochromatic image data, the first monochromatic image data corresponding to a first monochromatic image, the first monochromatic camera having a first field of view; capturing, using a second monochromatic camera of the computing device, second monochromatic image data, the second monochromatic image data corresponding to a second monochromatic image, the second monochromatic camera having a second field of view and the second field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view; capturing, using a color camera of the computing device, color image data, the color image data corresponding to a color image, the color camera having a third field of view and the third field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view and the second field of view, and the first monochromatic image, the second monochromatic image and the color image each overlap in a common field of view; determining that an average luminance level of the color image data is below a threshold luminescence level; determining first registration data between the first monochromatic image data and the second monochromatic image data; upsampling the first registration data from a first size to match a second size of the color image data; removing a portion of at least one of the color image data or the first registration data corresponding to pixels located outside of the common field of view; determining second registration data between the first registration data and the color image data for the common field of view; removing first luminance data from the color image data to generate chrominance data; refining color information associated with the chrominance data using texture data from the second registration data; refining the second registration data using the second registration data as a second guide to generate second luminance data; combining the chrominance image data from the color image data with the second luminance data from the second registration data of the first monochromatic image data and the second monochromatic image data to generate fused image data; and displaying an image corresponding to the fused image data on a display screen of the computing device.
