Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a particular illustrative embodiment of a system including an image processing system having an image combination module. The system 100 includes an image capture device 101 coupled to an image processing system 130. The image processing system 130 is coupled to an image storage device 140. The image processing system 130 is configured to receive image data 109 from the image capture device 101 and to combine multiple images providing correction or improvement of issues associated with the multiple images, such as shifting due to hand jitter, movement of objects in the image, overexposure, underexposure, poor focus in the near field or far field, lateral chromatic aberrations, and geometric distortions. Generally, the system 100 may be implemented in an electronic device that is configured to perform real-time image processing using relatively limited processing resources.

[0028]In a particular embodiment, the image capture device 101 is a camera, s...

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.

Description

I. FIELD [0001]The present disclosure is generally related to a system and method to selectively combine images.II. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART [0002]Advances in technology have resulted in smaller and more powerful computing devices. For example, there currently exist a variety of portable personal computing devices, including wireless computing devices, such as portable wireless telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and paging devices that are small, lightweight, and easily carried by users. More specifically, portable wireless telephones, such as cellular telephones and internet protocol (IP) telephones, can communicate voice and data packets over wireless networks. Further, many such wireless telephones include other types of devices that are incorporated therein. For example, a wireless telephone can also include a digital still camera, a digital video camera, a digital recorder, and an audio file player. Such wireless telephones can process executable instructions, in...
