SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING DIGITAL IMAGES USING MULTIPLE SHORT EXPOSURES

摘要

Methods, devices, and computer program products for image sensors with overlapped exposure brackets supporting multiple short exposures are described. In one aspect, a method of capturing an image is disclosed. The method includes capturing, on a first subset of pixels on an image sensor, a first image with a first exposure length. The method further includes simultaneously capturing, on a second subset of pixels on an image sensor, a plurality of images with a second exposure length, wherein the second exposure length is shorter than the first exposure length. The method further includes combining the plurality of images with a second exposure length into a second image. Finally, the method includes combining the first image and the second image.

1. A method of capturing a high dynamic range image, comprising:
capturing, on a first subset of pixels on an image sensor, a first image with a first exposure length; capturing, on a second subset of pixels on the image sensor, a second image with a second exposure length during the capturing of the first image; and combining the first image and the second image to form a high dynamic range image.
