First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of improving a dynamic range of an image which is obtained by a sensor unit of an image capture device, the method comprising:
- creating an input image using the sensor unit which has a plurality of lines and has different integration times for individual lines; and
creating an interpolated image by performing interpolation filtering on the input image by using neighboring lines of a current line which have different integration times.

11. An apparatus for improving an image dynamic range of an image capture device, the apparatus comprising:
-
an input image creating unit which creates an input image by converting light into electronic signals, the light being incident to individual lines for a period of an integration time which is different for each of the lines; and an image processing unit which performs interpolation filtering on the input image, by using a current line and neighboring lines which have different integration times, and creates an interpolated image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
