  • Methods and systems for shift estimation for one or more output frames
    Patent number: 11825207
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to exposure control for image capture devices. One example method generally includes receiving sensor data indicating a movement associated with an image capture device capturing a first frame and a second frame, wherein the first frame is associated with a higher exposure setting as compared to the second frame; predicting, based on the sensor data, a shift for aligning one or more features of the first frame and one or more features of the second frame; applying the shift to align the one or more features of the first frame and the one or more features of second frame; and generating a frame output at least in part by combining at least a portion of the first frame with at least a portion of the second frame.
