20120274814 | METHOD OF FORMING AN IMAGE BASED ON A PLURALITY OF IMAGE FRAMES, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND DIGITAL CAMERA - Image fusion based on a modified method of frame averaging for noise removal by partly averaging over images having a smaller resolution than the desired resolution of the de-noised image. The set of images which are summed for averaging out noise consists of two subsets. The first set of images has a resolution (in terms of number of pixels) being smaller than the resolution of the images in the second set. The resolution of the images in the second set is the resolution of the ‘high-definition’ de-noised output image. The lower resolution images are up-sampled by scaling their pixel numbers to that desired output image. The gradation of the first set images is also adapted to avoid intensity saturation (flare) due to sommation. Image fusing is also done in fourier space using the high frequency components from the higher resolution images and the lower ones from the lower resolution images. | 11-01-2012 |
20120093437 | IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM - In an image processing method a sequence of at least two image frames is provided and a motion vector representing relative movement of at least a part of said image frames is calculated. At least said part in the image frames is repositioned in accordance with the calculated motion vector, and the image frames are combined to form a combined image frame. The image frames are divided into blocks and a block motion vector representing relative movement of each block is calculated. Each block is repositioned in accordance with the calculated block motion vector and the blocks are combined to form combined blocks in order to obtain the combined image frame. | 04-19-2012 |
