High dynamic range video frames may be generated from images captured using different exposure times. The merging of the images may combine pixel values of the images using a parametric exposure time ratio to form a merged video frame. The quality of the merged video frames may depend on the accuracy of the exposure time ratio. In some scenarios, the exposure time ratio is unknown, or reported information from an automatic exposure controller about the exposure time ratio is inaccurate. Using an inaccurate exposure time ratio to merge images will result in undesired artifacts in the merged video frames. To solve this problem, a self-calibration technique may be implemented to derive an exposure time ratio based on the image itself.
