  • Publication number: 20240412390
    Abstract: A method for image alignment is provided. The method for image alignment includes the following stages. A first image with a first property from a first sensor is received. A second image with a second property from a second sensor is received. The first property is similar to the second property. The first feature correspondence between the first image and the second image is calculated. A third image with a third property from the first sensor and a fourth image with a fourth property from the second image sensor are received. The third property is different from the fourth property. Image alignment is performed on the third image and the fourth image based on the first feature correspondence between the first image and the second image.

  • Publication number: 20240338804
    Abstract: A method for high dynamic range imaging is provided. The method includes the following stages. A first image from a first sensor capable of sensing a first spectrum is received. A second image from a second sensor capable of sensing a second spectrum is received. The second spectrum has a higher wavelength range as compared to the first spectrum. A first image feature from the first image and a second image feature from the second image are retrieved. The first and second images are fused by referencing the first image feature and the second image feature to generate a final image.

  • Publication number: 20240273675
    Abstract: An image calibration method is applied to an image calibration device includes an image receiver and an operation processor. The image calibration method of providing a motion deblur function includes driving a first camera to capture a first image having a first exposure time, driving a second camera disposed adjacent to the first camera to capture a second image having a second exposure time different from and at least partly overlapped with the first exposure time, and fusing a first feature of the first image and a second feature of the second image to generate a fusion image.

  • Publication number: 20230351552
    Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to generating an output image using hybrid motion-compensated fusion techniques are described. An apparatus receives multi-frame data comprising a plurality of images consecutively captured. The apparatus subsequently generates a first intermediate image and a second intermediate image by performing temporal fusion on a first part and a second part of the multi-frame data, respectively. The apparatus further generates the output image using motion-compensated fusion based on the first and second intermediate images. The apparatus provides benefits of efficiently reducing noise and blurriness in the output image.

  • Publication number: 20160124624
    Abstract: A method of resizing a web page that is displayed on a touch screen of an electronic device includes detecting pressure operation on the touch screen. A further pressure operation is detected when the pressure operation is identified to be valid. The web page is resized according to the further pressure operation.
