  • Publication number: 20240089614
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein are configured to fuse image frames captured by a camera to generate an image frame having high dynamic range and reduced amount of noise. For instance, after a shutter button of the camera is activated, one or more history image frames captured during a preview mode of the camera (e.g., before the shutter button is activated) are compared to a highlight recovery frame captured after the shutter button is activated to determine a level of similarity therebetween. The history image frame(s) may be captured with a first exposure value, and the highlight recovery frame may be captured with a second exposure value that is different than the first exposure value. History image frame(s) that are determined to be relatively similar to the highlight recovery frame are combined with the highlight recovery frame to generate the image frame having high dynamic range.
