Determining an Image Capture Payload Burst Structure Based on a Metering Image Capture Sweep
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- capturing, by an image sensor, a first plurality of images of a scene, wherein each image of the first plurality of images is captured with a different total exposure time (TET);
based at least on the first plurality of images, determining a TET sequence for capturing images of the scene;
capturing, by the image sensor, a second plurality of images of the scene, wherein images in the second plurality of images are captured using the TET sequence; and
based at least on the second plurality of images, constructing an output image of the scene.

Abstract
A first plurality of images of a scene may be captured. Each image of the first plurality of images may be captured with a different total exposure time (TET). Based at least on the first plurality of images, a TET sequence may be determined for capturing images of the scene. A second plurality of images of the scene may be captured. Images in the second plurality of images may be captured using the TET sequence. Based at least on the second plurality of images, an output image of the scene may be constructed.

13. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
capturing, by an image sensor, a first plurality of images of a scene, wherein each image of the first plurality of images is captured with a different total exposure time (TET); based at least on the first plurality of images, determining a TET sequence for capturing images of the scene; capturing, by the image sensor, a second plurality of images of the scene, wherein images in the second plurality of images are captured using the TET sequence; and based at least on the second plurality of images, constructing an output image of the scene. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A computing device comprising:
-
at least one processor; an image sensor; data storage; and program instructions, stored in the data storage, that upon execution by the at least one processor cause the computing device to perform operations including; capturing, at the image sensor, a first plurality of images of a scene, wherein each image of the first plurality of images is captured with a different total exposure time (TET); based at least on the first plurality of images, determining a TET sequence for capturing images of the scene; capturing, at the image sensor, a second plurality of images of the scene, wherein images in the second plurality of images are captured using the TET sequence; and based at least on the second plurality of images, constructing an output image of the scene. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
