  • Patent number: 8570389
    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.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 29, 2013
    Assignee: Broadcom Corporation
    Inventors: Noam Sorek, Ilya Vitsnudel
  • Patent number: 8497927
    Abstract: A method of operating an imaging system comprising an imaging sensor and a processing system, the processing system having an operating frequency and the sensor having a nominal sampling rate. The method comprises using the imaging sensor with a new sampling rate that is different that the nominal sampling rate.

  • Patent number: 7409104
    Abstract: A method for enhancing wide dynamic range in images. The method comprises: acquiring at least two images of a scene to be imaged, the images acquired using different exposure times; constructing for a first image an illumination mask comprising a set of two 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 values to each pixels in them, whereas the other value is assigned to other pixels of the other images; using a low-pass filter to smooth border zones between pixels of one value and pixels of the other value, thus assigning weight values in a range between the two weight values; constructing a combined image using image data of pixels of the first image and image data of pixels of the other images proportional to the weight values assigned to each pixel using the illumination mask.
