Abstract

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media to capture images with subjects at different depths of fields. For instance, a method of processing image data includes obtaining a first image captured using an image sensor with a first exposure. The method may further include obtaining a second image captured using the image sensor with a second exposure. The method may include compressing the second image based on a comparison of the second image with the first image and storing the compressed second image in a memory. The method may further include obtaining the compressed second image from the memory and decompressing the compressed second image based on a difference between the compressed second image and the first image. The method may further include generating a combined image at least in part by combining the first image and the second image.
