  • Patent number: 7684645
    Abstract: A method for enhancing wide dynamic range in images is disclosed. The method comprises acquiring at least two images of a scene to be imaged, the images acquired using different exposure times. For a first image an illumination mask is constructed corresponding to the illumination in the scene, comprising a set of continuous weight values distinctively identifying respective areas of pixels of high or low illumination, over-exposed or underexposed with respect to a predetermined threshold illumination value, assigning one of the weight values to each pixels, whereas other weight value is assigned to other pixels of the other images. A spatial low-pass filter is used to smooth border zones on the illumination mask, thus assigning pixels in the border zones new continuous weight values in a range between the weight values.

  • Patent number: 7489829
    Abstract: A method for enhancing imaging in low light conditions, comprising: acquiring image data relating to a plurality of consecutive images; determining a local motion factor relating to the consecutive images by specifically processing the consecutive images in a predetermined manner in order to obtain an image mask that represents information about local motion; and processing the consecutive images, incorporating the image mask, to obtain final usable image information.

  • Publication number: 20060017837
    Abstract: A method for enhancing imaging in low light conditions. The method comprises acquiring two or more images, long images relating to long exposure times and a short images relating to short exposure times; processing the images to separate zones with high image details from zones of low image details; and reconstructing a final image where image information is selected from the short image in zones with high image details and from the long image in zones with low image details.
