SYSTEM AND METHOD TO SELECTIVELY COMBINE VIDEO FRAME IMAGE DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving first image data corresponding to a first video frame and second image data corresponding to a second video frame, the first video frame and the second video frame received from an image sensor;
adjusting the second image data by at least partially compensating for offsets between portions of the first image data with respect to corresponding portions of the second image data to produce adjusted second image data; and
generating combined image data corresponding to a combined video frame by performing a hierarchical combining operation on the first image data and the adjusted second image data.

Abstract
Systems and methods to selectively combine video frame image data are disclosed. First image data corresponding to a first video frame and second image data corresponding to a second video frame are received from an image sensor. The second image data is adjusted by at least partially compensating for offsets between portions of the first image data with respect to corresponding portions of the second image data to produce adjusted second image data. Combined image data corresponding to a combined video frame is generated by performing a hierarchical combining operation on the first image data and the adjusted second image data.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
a registration circuit configured to generate a set of motion vector data based on first image data corresponding to a first video frame and second image data corresponding to a second video frame, the first video frame and the second video frame received from an image sensor; a combination circuit coupled to perform a hierarchical combination operation to selectively combine the first image data and adjusted second image data, wherein the adjusted second image data corresponds to the second image data after being adjusted according to the motion vector data; and a control circuit to control the combination circuit to generate combined image data that corresponds to a combined video frame. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
