Abstract:
Techniques to capture and fuse short- and long-exposure images of a scene from a stabilized image capture device are disclosed. More particularly, the disclosed techniques use not only individual pixel differences between co-captured short- and long-exposure images, but also the spatial structure of occluded regions in the long-exposure images (e.g., areas of the long-exposure image(s) exhibiting blur due to scene object motion). A novel device used to represent this feature of the long-exposure image is a “spatial difference map.” Spatial difference maps may be used to identify pixels in the short- and long-exposure images for fusion and, in one embodiment, may be used to identify pixels from the short-exposure image(s) to filter post-fusion so as to reduce visual discontinuities in the output image.

Claim (Index 7):
The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause the one or more processors to fuse the first and second images based on the spatial difference map comprise instructions to cause the one or more processors to:\n determine a weight mask based, at least in part, on the one or more first images, the one or more second images, and the spatial difference map; and generate an intermediate output image based on the one or more first images, the one or more second images, and the weight mask.
