Abstract: Techniques are described herein for processing image data. For instance, a technique can include obtaining a first image having a first exposure time and a second image having a second exposure time that is greater than the first exposure time. The technique can further include determining at least one of: that a first pixel of the first image has a first pixel value below a first threshold value; or that a second pixel of the second image has a second pixel value above a second threshold value; suppressing at least one of the first pixel or the second pixel based on the determination so as to prevent storing the first pixel or the second pixel; replacing the suppressed first pixel or second pixel based on a another pixel value; and outputting the first image or the second image, the first image or the second image including the another pixel.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media to capture images with subjects at different depths of fields. For instance, a method of processing image data includes obtaining a first image captured using an image sensor with a first exposure. The method may further include obtaining a second image captured using the image sensor with a second exposure. The method may include compressing the second image based on a comparison of the second image with the first image and storing the compressed second image in a memory. The method may further include obtaining the compressed second image from the memory and decompressing the compressed second image based on a difference between the compressed second image and the first image. The method may further include generating a combined image at least in part by combining the first image and the second image.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for processing frames. For example, a process can include obtaining a current frame from a sequence of frames, the current frame associated with a first bit depth resolution and a reference frame preceding the current frame associated with the first bit depth and resolution. The process can include determining a difference between a first pixel value of the current frame and a second pixel value of the reference frame, the first pixel value and the second pixel value associated with a corresponding first pixel position. The process can include outputting a first portion of the determined difference as a first output value and, based on a determination that the determined difference does not exceed a maximum magnitude of a second bit depth, outputting an indication that the determined difference does not include a second portion associated with the first pixel position.

Abstract: An example image processor for processing pixels includes processing circuitry configured to determine that a first subset of input bits of a current pixel are the same as a first subset of input bits of a previously processed pixel, selectively bypass processing the first subset of input bits through a first pipeline based on the determination, output a first subset of output bits of the previously processed pixel as a first subset of output bits of the current pixel based on the determination, and merge the first subset of output bits of the current pixel with a second subset of output bits of the current pixel generated through a second pipeline from a second subset of input bits of the current pixel.
