SYSTEM AND METHOD TO SELECTIVELY COMBINE IMAGES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving first image data corresponding to a first image and second image data corresponding to a second image;
adjusting the second image data by applying a set of motion vector data corresponding to offsets between portions of the second image data with respect to corresponding portions of the first image data to produce adjusted second image data; and
generating third image data by selectively combining first values from the first image data and second values from the adjusted second image data at least partially based on comparing a first characteristic of the first image data to a second characteristic of the second image data.

Abstract
Systems and methods to selectively combine images are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, an apparatus includes a registration circuit configured to generate a set of motion vector data based on first image data corresponding to a first image and second image data corresponding to a second image. The apparatus includes a combination circuit to selectively combine the first image data and adjusted second image data that corresponds to the second image data adjusted according to the motion vector data. The apparatus further includes a control circuit to control the combination circuit to generate third image data.

13. A method comprising:
-
determining a first set of motion vectors corresponding to an offset between each block of a first set of blocks of first image data and a corresponding block of a first set of blocks of second image data; upsampling a motion vector of the first set of motion vectors corresponding to a particular block of the first set of blocks of the second image data to apply the motion vector to a second set of blocks of the second image data, the second set of blocks of the second image data included within the particular block; determining a second set of motion vectors corresponding to an offset between each of a second set of blocks of the first image data and a corresponding block of the second set of blocks of the second image data after applying the motion vector to the second set of blocks; applying the second set of motion vectors to the second image data to generate adjusted second image data; and selectively combining the first image data and the adjusted second image data to produce third image data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
